@PlayApex on TwitterCommon 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
Check server status first
Visit EA's service status page and Apex social media to confirm whether it's a widespread issue.
- 2
Restart your game and platform
Close Apex completely, restart your console/PC, and relaunch. This resolves many connection issues.
- 3
Test your internet connection
Run a speed test and check ping. If other games work fine, the issue is likely server-side.
- 4
Try a different region/server
If your region's servers are down, manually select a different data center from the title screen.
- 5
Clear cache and verify files
On PC: verify game files through Steam/Origin. On console: clear cache or reinstall if issues persist.
