Apex Legends lagging very badly, even on lowest settings.

I don't think it's even the settings fault. I started having this issue since this season started. My internet speed is ok, but I still get around 200-1300 ping. But no way such lag is caused by ping...

Have the same issues for few days now (since around Wednesday). FPS is really low, grapic loades really slow, I can't move my mouth without having a slow motion like experience.

Attaching screenshot from Training ground (FPS=10) and DxDiag.

Thought this might be similar to the below topic and tried most of the suggested steps https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/100-CPU-usage-troubleshooting-steps/m-p/10707752#M133286.

No issues on other games. Drivers up to date.

Also tried:

  • launching with advanced options and inputting "-novid -high +fps_max 0 -nojoy" per YT instructions (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f99f5ys1nBs).
  • turning off fullscreen optimization for r5apex.exe
  • setting graphic prefereneces on Windows level to High Efficency for Apex

    Did you find a solution? 

    I fixed my issue just by setting the game to windowed mode. I was always playing on borderless windowed. I can now also play apex legends on high texture streaming budget. The fps might drop to 40 minimum (during the first 40 seconds) but then it's back to normal.
