Common Apex Legends Issues During Outages

Connection errors or server timeouts

Players may see 'Unable to connect to EA servers' or timeout errors during outages or server degradation.

Matchmaking failures

Long queue times, failed match starts, or getting stuck in lobby can indicate server stress or degraded performance.

Code:net, Code:leaf, and other error codes

Apex-specific error codes often signal server issues, especially during peak play times or after updates.

Lag, high ping, or rubber-banding

Unexpected latency spikes and rubber-banding during matches may indicate regional server degradation.

Troubleshooting Steps Before You Assume Apex Is Down

  1. 1

    Check server status first

    Visit EA's service status page and Apex social media to confirm whether it's a widespread issue.

  2. 2

    Restart your game and platform

    Close Apex completely, restart your console/PC, and relaunch. This resolves many connection issues.

  3. 3

    Test your internet connection

    Run a speed test and check ping. If other games work fine, the issue is likely server-side.

  4. 4

    Try a different region/server

    If your region's servers are down, manually select a different data center from the title screen.

  5. 5

    Clear cache and verify files

    On PC: verify game files through Steam/Origin. On console: clear cache or reinstall if issues persist.

Apex Legends Status FAQ

Is Apex Legends down right now?

Check EA's service status page and Downdetector for community reports. If both show incidents, Apex servers are likely down for many players.

Why can't I connect to Apex Legends servers?

This usually indicates a server-side issue. Check official status pages first, then try restarting your game and router.

What does Code:net mean in Apex?

Code:net indicates connection problems between your client and EA servers. It's often caused by server issues or network instability.

Why is Apex Legends matchmaking so slow?

Slow matchmaking can indicate server stress, degraded performance, or low player counts in your region/mode.

Are Apex ranked servers separate from pubs?

While they use the same infrastructure, issues can sometimes affect one mode more than others during partial outages.
