How to fix freezing ( dropship ) or countdown Easy Anti-Cheat is the issue !!

Dear all,  After 6 days of researching and trying too many ways to fix the freezing, I found out that EasyAnti-Cheat is reason for freezing the game, I did delete easy-anticheat from the game folder...

@EA_Kent I don't have a controller plugged either so that might be one common issue but it's not the root of the problem...it's probably related to some usb devices and plugging in or out to just play the game and hope it works it's just not a solution...cmon a week already put some pressure on EAC to fix their * anticheat

@NeoNorticdo u use any kind of USB ? unplug your keyboard and everthing, expect the mouse, use the mouse to control the game and join a match

as soon as u on ground, plug them back and try

    @NAGAAATO I mean I'll try doing that but I have like 7 usbs plugged(tried without some of them, but I have my soundcard, oculus sensors a hub, Oculus headset, etc) so it will take me some time to check which one it is. And I hope that works, but thanks you dude I'll keep trying later.

    @NAGAAATO ok I'm glad to say that it's definitely an issue with the USB devices and in my case, it was mi DAC/amp I removed it and it worked. Then I tried the same using another port of my pci-USB card instead of one of my pc and it froze for a second then it worked flawlessly so it's not only device-specific but maybe there are some ports that are also not affected by this. Thanks you so much Krampus and the other dude who gave insights on this USB issue without you I guess we would still be weeks away from an official fix.

    So yesterday I tried to unplug all USB devices except mouse/keyboard and game was still freezing but I completely forgot that I recently upgraded to a USB DAC, which I didn't unplug. So I unplugged just the DAC, started a new game and then plugging it back in when I landed and it does prevent freezing in the dropship. After dying I immediately started a new game, *without* unplugging the DAC this time and the game still works. I don't know yet if it is necessary to unplug my DAC everytime I quit and re-open Apex, or if it is now fixed permanently.

    @xewarriorfinally man, im really feeling so sad for u to not helping u, i thought only controllers players who having this issue, but it seems USB problem, Im glad u r back to the game, u have to do it everytime u opening the game, I keep my game running the day, so GG and happy gaming
    --------------------------

    @EA_Kentit seems USB devices is the probem for the cheat, Easy Anity cheat think that those USB devices are scripted and it will free the game, I hope you pass this info to the devs

    thanks

    ok ok ok i see now 
     
    Eazy Anti cheat think that USB devices are scripted and it will freeze the game !! why ? idk ask easy anti cheat, but how do u fix it ? 
     
    if you are using controller or even if u plugged it into the pc, disconnect it from your pc and try 
     
    even tho if u have a headset that connected to a USB disconnect it it will working 100%
     
    it's a bug in easy anti cheat think that USB devices are scripted and it will freeze the game 
     
    we should wait till they fix this or try my tip to fix it 
     
    my tip will works for u. but everytimes u close the game u must disconnect the any USB devices expect mouse and keybaord, as soon as you are in match on ground connect them back 
     
    thanks
