Hey there @VERT1LE, I'm currently taking a deeper look into this issue as it's affecting various systems.

Are you hearing any beeping noises through your sound device?

Could you also run a memory to test if that's still functioning?

A memory leak seems likely as I've seen previous errors where the game was trying to allocate over 100 TB of memory, which usually is a indication of a memory leak.

This might be the same issue, just that it has become worse.

Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this.

Noo beeping noises at all but basically it freezes the entire pc it also happened in game a couple of times once during legend select and then halfway through the game. entire pc froze and was just a static glitch and then once it sorted itself out had to reconnect to discord again as couldn't hear anything. Also the mini map disappeared also half way through the game. I did a memtest and had 0 errors on it last night! Hope this helps 🙂

  Yeah that does help quite a lot, this is indeed something that is very likely to be caused by something that EA/Respawn has done.
  If you've overclocked anything, try to reset it to factory clock.
  Reseating your memory and cleaning your PC could possibly help too.
  I'll try to look into this issue, though we will most likely have to wait for a fix.
