Apex Legends Random Freezing

I'm having issues with Apex Legends, that it's randomly freezing for approx. 10 sec.
It seems to be completely random and when it freeze it also "crashes" my discord for the whole duration of the freeze. The freeze it self causes me to run on the spot in game, i'm able to look around, but moving is impossible. Just as i unfreeze i can hear my friends again and return to playing as nothing as happend.. 

It happen ATLEAST once every game, but most likely 2 times, and i've never had this happen in any other games.

I've tried the following:

-Update Graphics driver + windows update 

-Re-instal origin and APEX 
-Every combination of graphic setting

-Restart my network equipment

I play with 2 friends, and non of them have had this issue. 

PC specs:

8700k

MSI 1080ti
16GB 3400MHz 
MSI z370 gaming 
500GB NVME SSD 

Hopefully someone got a trick, because its making a very fun game almost unplayable ☹️ 

**EDIT**

I found a fix that worked for me..

Open Killer Control Center -> disable Advance Stream Detect

After this i haven't had a single crash. 

  • I found a fix that has worked for me so far in like 10 games (The freeze use to happen ATLEAST once a game)

    Open Killer Network Control -> disable Advance Stream Detect 

    I closed my killer control center again because it causes alot of errors for me in general, and it seem to work fine without it running

  • I have had this freezing problem since the start of the season.

    I am using a 5950X and a RX 6800 reference card, this freezing happens randomly, even got disconnected once. 

    Ive tried to repair apex, also reported the probe to AMD as a driver problem but i see people are having problems on Nvidia and Intel.

    I found that doing ctrl+shift+windows+b resolves the freeze (that resets your graphics driver) but it will still happen. Sometimes many times a game, sometimes not once, always in game.

    Ive never had the freeze go away  on its own, always makes me reset my driver, however since ive seen the problem being caused on Nvidia cards, it cant be the driver

  • When my game freezes, my screen is frozen complete but i can still move and shoot and all the audio is still playing
