Invalid anti-cheat message

Hello there! recently faced in trouble on logging into lobby with this message "The client sent an invalid anti-cheat message" and have no idea whats that could mean

For the past two weeks, I've been kicked out of games (around every 10-15th game I'd guess) followed by a "The client sent an invalid anti-cheat message" error message.

In the games leading up to the error (maybe 1-2 games before), and in the game where the error occurs, I've experienced delayed audio and other weird bugs, such as my guns being invisible for a brief time and no animations when dropping out of a dropship upon respawn. These bugs persist even when the game is closed and reopened.

I've attempted to run any anti-cheat files and Apex Legends itself as admin. This issue has, however, not been resolved.

The game doesn't enable you to reconnect to the match and punishes you with a 10-minute penalty and an RP penalty if you're playing ranked.

Does anyone have any experience with similar issues? If so, have you had any luck with resolving them?

I have received that kind of a message when in Firing range shooting dummies. Before that message I noticed that the hero was moving too fast while having batteries or cells (basically walking normal speed with jumps and slides) so there was likely some kind of a glitch somewhere when that message appeared. EDIT: Hero was mad maggie if that has something to do with the issue.

  @Salo_MnK Yes, the game glitches out before the error message. I've had the issue with both Bloodhound and Bangalore so I don't think it's character-dependant.
