OMG I Think I Found the fix for infinite load

Here is the issue I'm talking about: You start the game click continue then it shows a black screen with the Apex logo at the bottom right for a long period of time.

I had the issue when the game update first released then it fixed itself within the same day oddly. Today I was able to recreate the issue by playing around with Windows Defender Exploit protection settings. So basically right-click Windows defender on your task bar, when it opens click "App and Browser control" then "Exploit protection settings". Click "Program Settings" and "Add program to customize". Locate the "r5apex.exe" in the root Apex Legends install folder then edit the settings for it in Exploit protection settings overriding every system setting to be off then apply.

Let me know if it works or not. Should also help with general game stability problems if you're having issues.

Must have been a coincidence then. Odd. That it hasn't happened since the first day of the update, then it finally does it right after me modifying those settings. Doesn't do it after that one time though.

With these settings I can consistently cause the game to use higher CPU usage into the 90% range and fix the game so it works normally again however.
