Just checking in: I changed NOTHING and the crashes just magically went away. My last crash was on 28th March, so I guess some patch or NVIDIA driver update resolved the issue after that.

Hello,
Cleared the Steam download cache. Ran verify game files. Crashed twice during my 3rd game today: once just after landing, and again 3 minutes after that while I was running around.
Again, times are CET (UTC+0100).
Video of the crashes:
The 2nd crash actually gave me an error message from Easy Anti Cheat, complaining about a file that's part of VirtualMidiSynth (https://coolsoft.altervista.org/en/virtualmidisynth).
I played 3 ranked games after that, without any crashes. (Only saw the EAC error as I was compiling the video. Uninstalling VirtualMidiSynth now to see if that helps it, though it has been on my PC for a while without problems.)
Other potentially relevant info: Steam overlay is disabled. Only NVIDIA's GeForce Experience is on (Instant Replay is active. Has been like this for over a year.).
Community ManagerI appreciate the info! Have you noticed any other crashes or errors at all since you removed VirtualMidiSynth?

Just had one right now. (First since yesterday.) Somewhere between my 4th and 6th game today. Taking forever on the loading screen, with the rotating spinner, doesn't help either. (By the time I finally manage to load back in, I am usually dead, or my teammates are several kilometres away.)
If you ask me, this has to be something in the game code, based on the fact that it all started with the latest Apex patch. My system hasn't changed and been running in the same config for months..
Update: And another 2 crashes, first one mid fight (guess what had happened when I joined back in!) and the second one 5 minutes later in the same game after getting respawned and then downed.
Same thing is happening to me this is also ridiculous because I have spent almost 200 dollars on the game and my game is just crashing to desktop with no error message it has to be something in the game code because I have tried everything I can think of(I have reset my pc, I have downloaded all new windows drivers I have also went back to old windows drivers, I have switched to steam and etc.) Please help because the game is unplayable.
Here's today's first crash (crash time 13:26 CET/UTC+0100), and the process of loading back in...
my game is crashing like crazy since update as well. every update the devs fix one thing but break two more. i shouldn't crash EVERY SINGLE GAME on a high end system in 2021. wtf respawn
