Hey!Since 3 to 4 weeks i am experiencing extreme freezes in Apex alone, to where my game freezes for a minimum of 5 seconds. These freezes are completely random, sometimes they happen more than 10 times a game. I have tried a lot to fix this issue, from the normal troubleshooting game files to updating BIOS, changing DNS and roll backing NVIDIA drivers. Nothing seems to work and this is really frustrating to deal with.I am quite convinced that is has nothing to do with my PC as well, since it has very high specs.If somebody would have an answer or solution to this, i would be so grateful.Thank you,uhGhosts

Yup, same here. All issues have completely gone away. All games run smoothly now. Im gonna solve this ticket aswell nowSolution: There is none, issue has resolved on its own over time. Maybe Windows updates, overal driver updates or only gpu drivers. Who knows…

Apex freezes for 5 to 8 seconds multiple times

I have added you on steam, just in case i miss out on anything. But as far as my problem goes, i also have constant freezes. Even tho i'm having 32gb of ram, I9-12900k and a 3080Ti, nothing overheats, and my cpu usage ingame is 30%.

@NokeOriginJust curious if your freezes happen when you play on Kings Canyon?
And for example doesn't happen when you play on Storm Point?

Oh yea, in addition to the freezing lag, I also get the constant packet loss icon (but no noticeable lag), and the weird thing is the freezing starts at random (at anytime), but lately it starts appearing when I'm in a fight or close to a war zone.
I experience this problem since I dunno late season 11 or early season 12? til now and it's getting worse.
Where are you guys located? I'm playing at SG server. I never changed anything on my side ISP, PC, OS all same configuration.
Also same thing happens with other game like DbD around the same time with apex lag. Rubber banding and freeze but then again in DbD some * cheaters are known to using a lag switch, so can't tell when it's real lag or lag from lag switch.

Ok I might found the solution,it was from a user in lost ark reddit. I tried it and 5 sweaty games no freezing lag. before this, I had freezing lag in almost every game. Run the game and then open task manager, go to details tab and set priority of EAC (Easy Anti Cheat) to the lowest. I'll try this with DbD too (since they also use EAC), if I don't come back here, then it IS EAC problem....my gawd.

@lBreathTakinglwhat you described pretty much 100% same for me, except Im on Tokyo servers.
Meddling with EAC might get you banned though

lmao it won't get you ban, they can't even ban a hacker let alone this.
Either way it doesn't work, I tried it still did the thing slightly less but still did it. But It doesn't matter now, it just fixes itself I think, because I don't have this problem anymore since I dunno a week ago or maybe even less. Now all three games Apex, Lost Ark , and DbD, don't have this problem anymore.
