Player select screen freeze game lag

[CookayPK]

My Apex legend games for the past few days have been having these lags and freeze every few games. It happens on player select my friends are picking and im still stuck on the loading screen when i get in im in the waiting lobby grayed out and lagging hearing jumps from the ship but can't do anything. at the end i just crash with the client saying "The Client is not running the anti-cheat, or has failed the anti - cheat authentication: Authentication timed out (1/2)". 

I checked, repair and reinstall the anti cheat still it doesn't work. 

It has also happen to my friend a couple of time since the LTM update.

Please help since EA customer service is barely online

@CookayPK Maybe your PC is having trouble starting the EAC service. You could try to manually start the EasyAntiCheat-service from services.msc to check if that fixes the issue.
If that works, a dirty workaround could be to use task scheduler to start the process "manually" when you logon to your PC.
