Hi, @NightBringrBatta 

 

We can take a look into this for you, can you attach a DxDiag for us so we can see your PC specs? Have you tried checking your PC for Windows updates? Search "Windows Updates" in the desktop search bar to check for pending updates.

hi, @EA_Blueberry 

 

i attached the dxdiag file. sorry for the late reply. i was playing a match right now and i noticed that this will almost always happen in repulsor. it happened while jumping from the plane as we got near repulsor. the error that occurs after the freezing is over is i'll get kicked out then time out of the server. hope these information help and if u need anything more please let me know.

You could upgrade to Windows 10 build 1809. Search "Windows Updates" in the desktop search bar to check for pending updates. Are you running any other programs in the background while you're playing? There's a couple errors in your event viewer that might be causing some stress on the CPU. 

Try updating to 1809 to see if that has any effect and make sure Apex/Origin is added to your anti-virus exception list. If it happens again, try temporarily disabling Windows Defender for a few games to pinpoint whether it's being caused by firewall settings.

If it's happening in a specific area there's always a possibility of corrupted files. Try right-clicking on the game in Origin and select "Repair" to see if that helps. If not, consider reinstalling the game because we've seen that actually fix a lot of crashes. 

If you installed Origin a while back, it doesn't hurt to uninstall that and re-download/install the latest version here
