Season 13 patching issues info gathering thread

Alright so, ever since season 11 on steam my apex game WILL NOT update correctly. I don't know why. Even after I upgraded my system (went from * laptop to a mostly up to date pc) it still does this. It's so incredibly annoying. Every time it does this exactly-

1. Download update
2. Proceed to verify file integrity after download finished
3. Starts Installing 
4. Stops installing past 20%
5. I press pause update 
6. The estimated install time starts to infinitely go up NEVER actually pausing
7. I watch for a few moments and then shut down computer
8. Apex just sits there saying "Missing files" in the steam library 
9. I completely uninstall apex and reinstall
10. apex acts normal

I have no idea why it does this, but it just does.
