Re: connection to server timed out/freezing in lobby
- Disable QoS in your router settings. (Not all routers will have this option in case you don't see it)
- Play in Borderless Window mode.
- Turn off "Texture Streaming budget" in-game.
- Disable Cloud Saves via your Origin Application Settings.
- Open up ports listed for Apex Legends via the link below.
I tried all of the above and everything is useless ,i think u need to fix this in future patch or find a good solution for that.
