Apex tried to allocate 250TB of memory

Since this morning, Apex had crashed every time when I logged into the lobby, and the log showed it tried to allocate 250TB of memory...

I used to play Apex on steam, and I've tried to uninstall Apex then reinstall and start it on Origin. That didn't work.

I'm using Windows 11, but it's probably not the reason, cuz Apex has worked well on my devices for a long time.

The log is provided below:

---------------------------
Apex Crash - Out of Memory
---------------------------
Apex crashed because it ran out of memory.

The most common causes of this are:

?Your installed files are corrupt. Repairing the game may fix this.

?"Texture Streaming Budget" is too high in your video settings. Lowering this can help.

?All other programs plus Apex combine to use too much memory. Quitting other programs can help.

?Your Windows page file is set too small. Increasing the page file size can help. (The page file lets Windows move less important memory to disk until it's needed again.)

TECHNICAL INFORMATION:
?Apex was using 2.8 GB of physical memory.
?Apex was using 4.8 GB of virtual memory.
?Apex failed to allocate 250.7 TB of memory.

?Your PC has 16.0 GB of memory physically installed.
?Your PC has 128.0 TB of virtual memory (with the page file).
?After Apex exited, your PC memory load is about 46%.

    Recently I have been getting this error on Steam when running Apex Legends. 

    Can anyone advise on how I can resolve the issue? It's been happening recently at the start of this season.

    I was able to play one match today by doing some things. I set my max fps to 60. Changed all my settings to low and kept the texture to low 2GB VRAM. I set the anti cheat to low priority on task manager. 

    I was able to play one game and then when the Welcome to Gaiden pop window popped up. It froze.
