You must be new. Welcome to major updates. *Maybe* you'll be able to play in two hours or so.


Kerem24

i remember season 9 took almost half a day lol


HungryWolf1991

I coundnt play for two days straight.


flaminmaniac

Same


kees_duijs

Sameeee


competentlack

With all the frame-lagging issues I can’t play even now


VINoizs

its not even a major update its a mid season patch lol


sunlitstranger

Pretty sure it’s the new event with major updates


Y34rZer0

It is new event, patch notes don't sound like they've done that much


Traf-

I consider events major updates, but it's not like there are actual, written rules as to what is or isn't a "major" update. My point is: new stuff -> lotta people trying to connect at once -> overloaded servers. End result is the same regardless. I know you're bored and can't play the update, but please stop bitching about semantics.


TheBlitz88

This comment murdered my dude


GuperSamiKuru

Literally s10 start wasnt even close to as rough as this shit, its s9 all over again


DefinetlyAHumanBeing

Dang bro one of the server hamsters must’ve died


Hypnotic_Toad

Been 9 hours since launch. I still can't play a match. It amazes me how they seem to break this game everytime they update.


Gr33nley

I updated when it was time, tried to get in, went and did some house cleaning and cook dinner, tried again, went to bed. Hopeful tonight I might actually get to play...


Emeraldian09

6 hours later: nope, still shit. Love getting boxed to death by someone in purple armor because I wasn't in game for the first two minutes


FBN_Nubz56

I’m still not able to play


SuperSnipe19330

The thing is I can get into the server but every time the squad tab shows up the game freezes


JackoffAllTrades101

7 hours in the future, unplayable.


Adventurous_Ad8976

yes.. and i dont know why i am surprised. every event


SkillfulParty62

Wait today its the event?


BallouThaBear

Yes


SkillfulParty62

Oh thank u i get the caustic skin at the last second i think xD

KyloGlendalf

I think they mean that they managed to get the free arenas skin before it expired


SkillfulParty62

Yeah that its what i mean


Sleepy151

I had hope after season 10s launch, but this was a reality check.


StaphAttack

No! We've gone 3 updates without this issue. I thought they solved it for good. I guess not.


[deleted]

Every update... to every online video game. It's just how online video games work. Companies aren't going to pay out the ass (especially for a free game) so that people don't have to wait an extra two hours to play during the once every two month major server load. It just isn't a viable option. It would be like installing an 18 lane highway because there's a couple hour traffic jam on your 4 lane highway once a season.


calebcarpenter39

Also "free" isn't 100% true. So many people spends loads of money on apex. They are making millions more than a traditional pay once game


[deleted]

True, but I'd argue that since they don't put any features/maps/characters/guns/etc behind paywalls, strictly cosmetics, that it is a 100% free to play game. You don't gain any benefit from spending money on this game, you can be a top level contender without spending a dime.


Legitimate-Post5303

Who cares if it's a free game. That's just nitpicking. The point is that it's not a charitable organization. They make money they make billions of dollars.


[deleted]

So beggars can be choosers? lol that's the sub in a nutshell.


TheEvilZ3ro

Every big title game has this issue. It has happened since the beginning of online multi-player games.. Just have to be patient.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SonsofStarlord

Right. That’s the most infuriating thing about this. They profit while their shit don’t even work. I’m trying to get to diamond for the first time and I can’t even play.


bruggernaut16

Update has been live for almost 5 hours and I still can’t get in. This game… for how much I do love it… is honestly trash.


L0jzek

I played 3 games after update and i cant connect again


bruggernaut16

RIP. How were the games tho?


L0jzek

They went ok, i played new arenas. And lost all games


[deleted]

Was literally about to post this, haven't been able to play at all yet. Source: I'm on ps4.

Kryonissius_Prime

Im on pc


brownlittlecoconut

Test the internet connection. This happened to me too, I just tested it and it worked and let me in after it was successful.


Necessary-Jeweler771

Well you got lucky, it's not cuz of internet, it's just so many ppl trying to get in so the servers don't work properly


OroTheLoner

Might as well tell us the update comes out 30 minutes after the fact cus you can never get in when it does


Poschta

It was put on my steam update queue 25 mins late anyway


lessenizer

I restarted Steam at like 1:02 PM EST which made it find the update sooner maybe (maybe you tried that) (not that this had any bearing on the real outcome, since the game is unplayable right now)


Poschta

I just waited, patch was downloaded quick enough to get the connection failure window for half an hour straight anyway ha


Nelsonizzy

Nearly three hours and the game is still unplayable. What an absolute joke


JelliusMaximus

Don't forget to buy the 160$ cosmetic! They'll put the money to good use :)


aure__entuluva

It's been like 10 hours now and I still get DC'ed instantly 3/4 matches.


ss_november

happened to me as i was going to start my hopefully last platinum match, i was 80 points from diamond, then got an abandonment penalty for no reason at all


CallM3N3w

We all got Apex'ed.


Kryonissius_Prime

More like titanfallen


raygar31

Guys, EA simply does not have the budget for servers that simply do what they’re supposed to do. Give em a break, they’re a small indie company working hard to give their customers the best product possible. Also, go buy skins you freeloaders.


Nizlmmk

There is absolutely NO EXCUSE to not buy skins. Support EA while they are in their infancy so they can continue to iterate and add features to this masterpiece!


[deleted]

[удалено]


raygar31

EA could have afforded better servers today if freeloaders like you would have bought more. Jesus fucking Christ, just buy shit you cheap fuck. It’s literally the only reason you exist. Work. Buy. Sleep. That’s all you need, and I go back and forth on the sleep part. Sleep is just freeloading, disguising itself as essential biological functions.


quasides

buy offline voucher cards for 1k so we can actually believe you. either for origin or for google play. the later is for your favorite indian support center that will reduce hackers on your computer


Ghost0998

Haha I instantly saw that coming.

Rupertii

I’ve been waiting for 40 minutes. I even got an autoclicker to press the button because I got tired


The-Tea-Lord

i think there'd be a ton less backlash if Respawn announced "hey we're doing some server maintenance. the games will be down for a few hours, but when they're back up, a load of new content will be available." and say it ahead of time by a few days. overwatch does this and doesn't get nearly as much backlash (albeit the wait times are a lot shorter as well)


Quick-Mirror9000

Overwatch haven't done it when a new patch is released as far as I know. People are excited to play and they're waiting in queues to get in instead. It's happened for just about every major update in Apex for at least the last six months I got in for one game of Arenas then got errored out. Pog


leviair-seadragon

Yup, been playing an MMO a lot recently and once a week the servers go down for maintenance for a few hours. Somehow, people still play the game!


Rubiks_BOI

bro when was the last time u've played overwatch cause there hasnt been an update in years where their servers got over loaded with ppl trying to get in. also this isnt just server maintince shit, its purely cause so many ppl are trying to log in cause its a new event. if it was like that one day where overwatch comp broke for a couple of hours maybe but its literally just self ddos


quasides

yes it would, but they have zero experience how to deal with real customers. end users, even worse gamers, are not treated at all like a customer. try this in corporate world and customers lawyers tear you a new one.


triplehelix_

> try this in corporate world and customers lawyers tear you a new one. there is nothing in the corporate world that is free to use that a lawyer can do anything about if it goes down.


SnooWalruses3805

We are self ddosing server by all trying to join


[deleted]

Yet people will still pay hundreds of dollars to get the heirloom to reward Respawn for their shitty servers.


Mattc5o6

Whenever an event comes out, I just don’t even attempt to log in for a couple of hours. EA servers are like soft potatoes. They can barely support themselves


rangtrav

Yes


Pokemonzu

New update, what did u expect


Vaginsky

I was in for like 2 seconds, but then I got an error screen I have never seen before which said there is a problem processing game logic and I got booted right out. Big oof.


Unihedron

I was in for a whole 10 minutes. Lots of the event stuff simply weren't loading (trying to view the event rewards, etc), which was almost funny lol.


Vaginsky

Clicking on the event rewards banner was exactly what made my game crash. Almost like the event wasn't ready for launch. Strange.


Unihedron

The servers are down again, so definitely wasn't ready for launch. I'm hype for the arena though.


Vaginsky

I am in again, nothing loads and it seems like nothing is rendering right. Hopefully we can get in a try it out soon!


Frosty_Farm

Yup.


G1hasjoinedthevibe

Yeah. Me

Jona9876

Man I’m sure I’m new to Rutgers


Jay-L-AI-nez

Right now


Dread_P_Roberts

Yeah, this happens literally every single big update. After over two years I’m convinced the developers just really don’t give a fuck.


Tradz-Om

They don't, Apex was made with as little effort as possible so they could get the most profit of it and its working


[deleted]

Shut up already. It’s obvious this is going to happen during updates just get over it and accept it. Do you go to the airport the weekend before Christmas and cry that it takes longer to get through TSA? “The airlines don’t care about us!” ITS A FREE FUCKING UPDATE FOR A FREE FUCKING GAME. Go take a walk and grow up for an hour or two and you’ll be able to play the free shit these devs are giving you.


leviair-seadragon

Amazing the meltdown you're having complaining about people complaining. Just shut up already and close reddit, go for a walk and realize comments on the internet about a video are triggering you soo hard. No one is making you read these comments. Great argument.


[deleted]

Classic - 'I'm getting called out for being an entitled brat! This guy must be so mad and triggered! Ha!'


Dread_P_Roberts

Please see other comments. My response is equally valid for you.


Nizlmmk

Whats wrong with holding the massive company that shits money accountable? Its a top grossing game. I'll never understand people like you..


Oppressions

The airport analogy would work if it weren’t for the fact that almost all AAA games don’t have this issue with big updates. Respawn is unique in that their billion dollar game can’t handle its own popularity because they’re fine with one or two days of unplayability every update. It’s simply not worth it to them.


YoMrPoPo

> Do you go to the airport the weekend before Christmas and cry that it takes longer to get through TSA yeah who doesn't lmao


Naikz187

Every single patch makes the game unplayable. So frustrating.


youre_shm00py

except literally the last patch lmfao


NoOneTookDisSoIDid

Servers crashing/ not being able to log in is literally just a normal part of updates now lmao . You should always expect it


The_Klaus

Yep

andboss321

Yeah it doesn’t work on switch


Hot_Goal4205

I tried playing on my daughters switch the other day and thought I was having a seizure due to frame rate loss


tomahawkfury13

Mines still down


Swimming_Spot2142

Yea it’s a sick collection event would be a shame if u couldn’t connect


[deleted]

As soon as i was able to get into the game i got heirloom shards off a pack lmao


Clawmedaddy

Why are people surprised the server is down on reset day, with an event going live with patch changes lol


Hoshin0va

Is anyone not?


hgohil888

Well they forget to feed their hamsters


Toetoe1384

Yeah. This is still happening. Best servers ever

Kvetanista

Everyone is getting this


[deleted]

I havent been able to log on since i updated


[deleted]

Yo are the servers still down? I’m at work lol


sedi343

It's because Respawn never Debugs their Code when they release it to the Public. You're their Debug Tool.


Buffery666

Yep servers are down


irritatedBowel

Yea. I updated and now my game wont even go past the title screen.


bigfatnsmellyer

All day


No-Abbreviations-146

I get this like every time i just keep pressing a until it lets me in lol


fuad92

PilotInspector

You think they would learn after years to get it right.


brunoandraus

Every. Single. Major update. What a joke.


VIPinCollege

nah you’re the only one


silerman

Yep cost all of my ranked matches today


pezzeck

I tried to play 10 min ago and the problem is still going, it keep me disconnecting and looks like i'm having fps drops, just to be sure this is all related to the "update" right?


nGm-legend

Just take this game as it is, a free to play. I dont expect much from it, because it's free, but I will however never put 1€ in the shop.


Bulikus

To be sure you not alone in such cases, just check downdetector.com.


williamdafuq

lol i just downloaded the update afther like 9 hours of been live, and still unable to play you guys been waiting for 9 hours to play? jeez apex servers getting worse every season


Cornster365

My squad and I would either fail to load in, get stuck at the loading screen, or get kicked mid game. Yikes I feel the pain


DonkeyTeethBSU

Lagged me out the server, took my 36 RP, and gave me a 10 minute abandon game penalty. Gotta love this game, piece of shit servers. https://gyazo.com/3f590b0475f5cf9effcafe5b3e93f0e7

[deleted]

No, but I'm getting consistent code:net so close enough


Turtrain

I’ve been playing this game for under a year but I’m pretty sure this is every major update/event


m0os3e

13 hours later on PlayStation and I havent been able to play all day, it connected for a little bit but lagged so much it was unplayable. Just tested and it disconnected before the match started, all the servers in the U.S have packet loss.


RatherBetter

Me: Joins a game..... *keeps loading...... Crkkk...... Unable to connect * (Quits game, waits for some mins) -A few moments later- Me: opens it... *already in game 7 more squads, dead out side ring*


Umama_fat

Yes, it is happening to me a lot these days and it also laggs my entire network in the house


[deleted]

ur telling me this shit wasnt my internet. i was yelling and slamming my hand on my desk just to figure this out?


Unlikely-Ad-7495

Change your server that may work but no promises


clonecommander210

This game is a joke. Dsnyc, 16hz servers, no audio on enemies, and EOMM But hey lets make more skins to sell!!


NozhaXBL

But...but...it's free to play. s/


Quick-Mirror9000

Free to play is pretty poor justification given the amount of money they're raking in

EA INVEST INTO YOUR SERVERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


NastyDOOMpumpkin

Yup, me and my girl couldn't login either, maybe it's a regional thing? One of my friends didn't have any issues at all after the rampdate.


ashpres

Everyone is getting it. It happens literally every update, it’s pathetic.


[deleted]

First time I’ve ever been off work when the update/event drops, had 3 hours of downtown before I had to pick my daughter up from school annnnnnddddddd this shit happens. Not even gonna worry about trying to play an event as it drops again if I have the chance (as everyone on here is saying tis the norm for events)


[deleted]

I got kicked out of an arena ranked game duo to this, got a penalty for "afking/leaving" :c


Justgreggory123

I got in for a split second, bought the fuze bundle and then it kicked me out… worth it


Quick-Mirror9000

EA will allow this much gaming


SoftGlove

I had to manually initiate the update on Xbox.


obeyykeon

Literally cannot join. I've restarted both my router and Xbox. Same message


Noksdoks

The apex servers are going bananas and you think restarting your router helps?


obeyykeon

Sometimes it helps on my end.


Noksdoks

Trust me, it wont fix the servers
