Apex legends freezes just as match begins

[Arbitrat3r]

I've tried all the troubleshooting steps (power cycle, reinstall, delete saves, and clear MAC) and nothing works. It's definitely only since the evolution patch and even the subsequent patch hasn't fixed it.

Hi, if you're affected by this, can you test if it affects an alternative account?

Do you happen to have noticed any common factors for the times that you have encountered this?

This is painful.     I love the band when it works,  but it is getting to the point I sing even want to play.     Played 2 Ganges today both froze up. 

I keep having to restart the game and end up joining my last game in progress and usually waiting for responding.    BOOOO

Made an alternate account just to test. A blank slate. Yes, the freezes still occur. 

And i cannot find a pattern to these occurrences. I've heard a few people say it has something to do with the animated banner poses, but that has been proven false.. at least to the extend of what i can see.

Try turn off your firewall. Its working after I try it on my PC.
