We'll make sure Respawn gets this discussion here. We've seen this type of suggestion mentioned on both these forums and the official subreddit, however at the moment we're not aware of any upcoming plans around implementing this. We've also seen some suggestions for a cooldown system like mentioned here
My initial concern around this is whether it could be exploited to avoid dying in a battle, however in some other games you'll have your character stand still or get taken over by a bot. While we'll make sure suggestions like this make it up to the development team to review for making improvements to the game, I think what we need to do is first fix the root cause of this: disconnections and crashes.
If you're experiencing those, I recommend using the search bar in the Technical Issues board to find solutions to help keep you in the game. We will always strive for making improvements to server stability, but for connectivity issues a one solution for all is not always possible. Everyone has different internet service providers, routers, firewall settings, hardware/wiring setups, etc. One person already mentioned in this discussion they've never really experienced a disconnection, so it could be a lot of some players and never at all for others.
Some players couldn't play with roommates and with some minor tweaks to their network it was solved. Check it out below.

Is your game crashing? We have a troubleshooting guide that includes various workaround solutions from the community. Respawn is aware of the reports we are sending them though and are committed to improving stability on the game as mentioned HERE

This is a great discussion though and we appreciates everyone's insights on this. Good luck in Kings Canyon!

So the crashing with Apex is ALMOST fixed and it hardly happens anymore, but when it does happen it can be ridiculous. I was just playing a game where I had 9 kills, a legendary R-301 and a mastiff and was with two teammates. Nearing the end of the game we wiped the second to last squad out and then my game crashed, highly disappoints me considering this was a for sure win, but also now my teammates still in game probably just lost that win. I think there needs to be a reconnect option as there is in PUBG, I'm not too sure how to implement this but considering its been done before it can't be too hard. Either leave a place holder of an AFK character there so when you reconnect you have all your stuff, or kill the disconnected player and if they reconnect give the teammates their banner to res them.

You know ALOT of people will stop playing this game soon if you dont fix this problem. They stay now because the game is new and exciting. But the excitement is running off now and many players will realise that it's not worth crashing alsmost every game.
And since you cant fix it then MAYBE add a reconnect option instead?
This has taken SO many wins from me its not even funny. if it happens in the start i dont really care. but at the last person and you have just done like 140 damage to them and then it crashes...
OR when its the last squad and its a 3v3 and you kill 1-2 of them and it crashes..
I dont care if i lose and rearly care if i win. But crashes are something that tilts me..
Fix your *. Thanks <3

Sorry to hear that you are having issues @Espereaus.
Best thing to do is try the steps in this help thread: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Community-Crashing-Troubleshooting-Guide/td-p/7447308
Capping the FPS seems to work for a lot of people seeing issues.

Agreed. Reconnect function should be #1 priority. A multiplayer game with no reconnect in 2019 is honestly a joke.

My tip is: Completely Disconnect ORIGIN from this game.. it will solve all issues
Also REJOIN OPTION plx. <3

I agree. Origin is the most unstable gaming platform i ever had to deal with. Period. I think the game will only benefit from completely disconnecting with it. Also an option to rejoin a game you crashed from or dc'd from is simply a must and i dont understand how they could launch the game without such a basic feature. I am envy of the people that had only one or two crashes or disconnects so far. I deal with those every second or third game and its beyond frustrating imo. Sometimes indeed its my own connection, but more often then not when i double check, everything is fine on my end, which means there is still connection, stability problems with the game and such an option will make it atleast less frustrating by being able to rejoin a game, until the bigger issue gets solved and fixed.
