First game with this driver and the game crashed :D I've been trough several drivers this week and the newer ones crash more frequently. I'm going to test moving the game to SSD where the OS is not installed. Kinda out of ideas here.

Are you playing the game with all the external hard drives attached to the PC? 

@EA_Blueberry 

I dont have any external hard drives. Only two extra ssd's for games and stuff. But if you were talking about those ssd's, yes they are attached. Moving the game to seperate ssd didnt help, still crashing. Also tried origins 'Repair' thing to the game, also did nothing. Now I set the priority of the easyanticheat to low cause some people are suggesting that, probably does whole lot of nothing.

Thanks for getting back, @HandsomeJeka 

Can you let me know if these following steps have any improvement for you? I just posted this recently and looking to get some feedback on these steps.

• Cap FPS to 60 or 70 (Put "+fps_max 60" in the advanced option in the game properties inside the origin launcher)
• Disable full screen optimization
• Right-click the Apex Legends icon.
• Click on Properties.
• Click on the Compatibility tab.
• Check “Disable Full Screen Optimizations”
• Click OK.
• Lower Monitor Refresh Rate to 60
• Open Settings.
• Click on System.
• Click on Display.
• Click the Display adapter properties link at the bottom
• Click the Monitor tab.
• Set Easy Anti-Cheat Priority to Low
• When you launch the game ALT-TAB out. 
• CTRL-ALT-DELETE so you pull up Task Manager
• Go to the Details tab
• Find Easy Anti-Cheat>Right-Click and set priority to low
• Lower Texture Streaming Budget from the in-game settings to Low or NONE
• Lower Ambient Occlusion
• Disable Anti-Aliasing
• Disable Volumetric Lighting
• Lower Spot Shadow Detail

Even if the first two steps would work, I would not play the game on 60fps on 60hz when I own +1000€ monitor. After putting the Easy Anti-Cheat priority to low, I have not crashed ones BUT I also read from the forums that one guy was only crashing after alt tabing so I have not alt tabed from the game either so that could be the fix for this on my part. For the graphic settings, I have everything on low or turned off except for the Anti-Aliasing.

2 games in a row, where we were top3, and I crash...

This game is becoming unplayable!

No errors, no windows event logs... The game just closes.

All drivers are up to date
Windows is up to date.
Running -fps_max 80
Geforce GTX 1070
16GB DDR4 RAM
Intel core i5-6600K
I have tripple monitors at 60hz
Running bordeles windowed mode

Can you let me know if the steps I posted above help get around the crashes for you?

Steps above haven't worked for me.
And the servers have insane lag, seems to be getting worse and worse? I've seen a lot of streamers talk about it too, so thank god it's not just me. But it's so bad that I don't think that I can play this game anymore, I even tried switching data center from the main menu to London(~28ms). This helped a little but the lag is still there. First 3-5 days of playing this game I had no problems at all but seems like every update pushes me further away from this game with new issues.☹️

I did several speed tests and pretty much all of them yields same results:

Doing those steps seems to have made the random crashes worse, I'm not crashing more than I used to but not less either. Now when my game decides to shut down, instead of taking me back to windows, the game just freeze on the screen. Can't Alt+F4 or  end it from the task manager. I have to reboot computer every time now when it happens.  🤔

Also what comes to lag it seems that I can play just fine early in the morning. Only had one short slow motion lag after landing. 

This video helped me out
