maybe 1 out of times times i load this game i can play, it freezes and lags constantly. even on my own in the lobby screen before joining if i click anything it freezes, character selection i barley see it just chooses the last hero i selected. when it loads im already in the drop ship. if its runs smooth when we land i can run for a while and as soon as someone shoots at me it freezes until ive been downed. i have a good rig that can run other games in 1440p at 90+ fps. i get 189 fps in apex yet its still buggy and will drop down to 1fps. i dont have this issue in any other game before you say it could be my hard ware. all my drivers are up to date. so whats causing this issue, ive sunk money into this game more then just the battle pass and i can barley play it
"- set all ingame settings in Apex to low"
Do you see any impact to FPS if you increase your graphical settings to medium or higher? Appreciate the detailed solution you posted for others here, however I'm not sure if many players will want to visually play on low settings.
Thanks for the contribution. 
@Zer0_Calculati0N nice that i could help you 
@EA_Blueberrythis solution is not for a high end pc by the way. with my new pc i dont need that manual. to put all on low gives you a smother gameplay, its not all about fps, the subjective feeling is much more important.
