Update Nov 16th. this seems to be addressed now. If you are experiencing crashing or freezing please check out our Crashing Troubleshooting guide.
Apex season 15 freezes issue has come way too far, nonetheless please try this launch commands:
+exec autoexec -refresh 144 -dev -console -preload -forcenovsync -high
Before: Always crashes every game on ranked/trios/trios no teammates fill.
After: 6 games and no crashes so far with this exact combination, currently testing another combination to make sure which one actually works.
So this combination seems unknowingly works on 2 PCs so far (me and my friend).
Let me know if this works for you also.
@Helminizer
@iEat15EggsADay
By combining these two methods, my Apex no longer crashes.
Thanks to all of you for the information.
And If you are having trouble with crashes, give it a try.
[1st]
Step 1:go to apex video settings and disable "Spot Shadow Detail" completely. put it on disabled.
It is important to do this step first because step 2 will be reset if you do ANY changes to your video settings later.
close the game.
Step 2:
Press Windows+R
enter this:%userprofile%/Saved Games/Respawn/Apex/local/
go to the text file called "videoconfig" search the Line"setting.csm_enabled" "1" (in the bottom half of the file) make it "setting.csm_enabled" "0"save the file.
Step 3:
Start the Game and give it a Try.
If you do ANY change to your video settings after step 2 it will set it to "setting.csm_enabled" "1" again.
[2nd]
try this launch commands:
+exec autoexec -refresh 144 -dev -console -preload -forcenovsync -high
First we tried [1st] only, but it crashed after about 30 minutes.
Next I tried the [2nd] way to start Apex and played it for a few hours without crashing.
I will fill in my PC specs just in case.

3 * days now without any words from someone from EA... this is just * ridiculous!!!!
I've tried EVERYTHING that was said on forum/reddit and still crash, I can have 5-6-7 games without this happening, then it will do it every game even 3 times a game.
Since apex is pretty much the only game i'm playing, and that I can't play it, nor I can't stream because of that, I hope EA will give some sort or monetary compensation, not * skin
O.K. once again I did an obscure 'fix' and haven't had any crashes in hours of filled trios. Might be luck so take with a grain of salt.
Disable your microphone in windows sound settings.
Seems silly, but S15 patch did launch with a nasty bug that was crashing the game when people connected/disconnected headphones so whatever is causing the freezing for us might also be audio device related.
