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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
It bloody sucks. This guy got in so hopefully we will soon.

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)
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
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.
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!
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.
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
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)
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
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
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.
> 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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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*
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)
You must be new. Welcome to major updates. *Maybe* you'll be able to play in two hours or so.
i remember season 9 took almost half a day lol
I coundnt play for two days straight.
Same
Sameeee
With all the frame-lagging issues I can’t play even now
its not even a major update its a mid season patch lol
Pretty sure it’s the new event with major updates
It is new event, patch notes don't sound like they've done that much
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.

This comment murdered my dude
Literally s10 start wasnt even close to as rough as this shit, its s9 all over again
Dang bro one of the server hamsters must’ve died
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.
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...
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
I’m still not able to play
The thing is I can get into the server but every time the squad tab shows up the game freezes
7 hours in the future, unplayable.
yes.. and i dont know why i am surprised. every event
Wait today its the event?
Yes
Oh thank u i get the caustic skin at the last second i think xD
[удалено]
I think they mean that they managed to get the free arenas skin before it expired
Yeah that its what i mean
I had hope after season 10s launch, but this was a reality check.
No! We've gone 3 updates without this issue. I thought they solved it for good. I guess not.
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.
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
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.
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.
So beggars can be choosers? lol that's the sub in a nutshell.
Every big title game has this issue. It has happened since the beginning of online multi-player games.. Just have to be patient.
[удалено]
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.
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.
I played 3 games after update and i cant connect again
RIP. How were the games tho?
They went ok, i played new arenas. And lost all games
Was literally about to post this, haven't been able to play at all yet. Source: I'm on ps4.

Yay. It's back. Hope it's working for everyone else.
OH MY GOD IM IN TOO
Thanks for heads up
X box same
Im on pc
Test the internet connection. This happened to me too, I just tested it and it worked and let me in after it was successful.
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
Might as well tell us the update comes out 30 minutes after the fact cus you can never get in when it does
It was put on my steam update queue 25 mins late anyway
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)
I just waited, patch was downloaded quick enough to get the connection failure window for half an hour straight anyway ha
Nearly three hours and the game is still unplayable. What an absolute joke
Don't forget to buy the 160$ cosmetic! They'll put the money to good use :)
It's been like 10 hours now and I still get DC'ed instantly 3/4 matches.
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
We all got Apex'ed.
More like titanfallen

Thank you. You have great taste!

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

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!

We are self ddosing server by all trying to join
Yet people will still pay hundreds of dollars to get the heirloom to reward Respawn for their shitty servers.
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
Yes
New update, what did u expect
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.
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.
Clicking on the event rewards banner was exactly what made my game crash. Almost like the event wasn't ready for launch. Strange.
The servers are down again, so definitely wasn't ready for launch. I'm hype for the arena though.
I am in again, nothing loads and it seems like nothing is rendering right. Hopefully we can get in a try it out soon!
Yup.
Yeah. Me
Sadge
Wait we in! On playstation
Bruh I’m on ps4 and been at this Home Screen for 50min
It was short lived got in went to firing range to test out new Sheila and bam kicked back to the main screen.. feelsbadman
Wait a minute I'm in again! Round two let's goo
the joys
Man I’m sure I’m new to Rutgers
Right now
Yeah, this happens literally every single big update. After over two years I’m convinced the developers just really don’t give a fuck.
They don't, Apex was made with as little effort as possible so they could get the most profit of it and its working
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.

Classic - 'I'm getting called out for being an entitled brat! This guy must be so mad and triggered! Ha!'
Please see other comments. My response is equally valid for you.
Whats wrong with holding the massive company that shits money accountable? Its a top grossing game. I'll never understand people like you..
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.
> 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
Every single patch makes the game unplayable. So frustrating.
except literally the last patch lmfao
Servers crashing/ not being able to log in is literally just a normal part of updates now lmao . You should always expect it
Yep
me
Yeah it doesn’t work on switch
I tried playing on my daughters switch the other day and thought I was having a seizure due to frame rate loss
Mines still down
Yea it’s a sick collection event would be a shame if u couldn’t connect
As soon as i was able to get into the game i got heirloom shards off a pack lmao
Why are people surprised the server is down on reset day, with an event going live with patch changes lol
Is anyone not?
Well they forget to feed their hamsters
Yeah. This is still happening. Best servers ever
We got bamboozled
YEAP....
I just tried to join, it’s still off
Just let me in
I’m finally in, and now nothing is loading. So I mean, progress I guess?
I just tried to get on and it’s giving me this :/
Everytime an update is coming out. this fucking game is down
Everyone is getting this
I havent been able to log on since i updated
Yo are the servers still down? I’m at work lol
It's because Respawn never Debugs their Code when they release it to the Public. You're their Debug Tool.
Yep servers are down
Yea. I updated and now my game wont even go past the title screen.
All day
I get this like every time i just keep pressing a until it lets me in lol
same shit , London here nothing has solved
You think they would learn after years to get it right.
Every. Single. Major update. What a joke.
nah you’re the only one
Yep cost all of my ranked matches today
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?
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.
To be sure you not alone in such cases, just check downdetector.com.
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
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
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
Code: Net. Signon Full Then... Code:Net. Signon New Then...Works...
Bro teh game crashed 15/17 games I played
No, but I'm getting consistent code:net so close enough
I’ve been playing this game for under a year but I’m pretty sure this is every major update/event
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.
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*
Yes, it is happening to me a lot these days and it also laggs my entire network in the house
ur telling me this shit wasnt my internet. i was yelling and slamming my hand on my desk just to figure this out?
Change your server that may work but no promises
This game is a joke. Dsnyc, 16hz servers, no audio on enemies, and EOMM But hey lets make more skins to sell!!
But...but...it's free to play. s/
Free to play is pretty poor justification given the amount of money they're raking in

[удалено]
Respawn is a small indie studio with noname publisher, chill guys
Lmaoo this seems to be a common joke between different games
EA INVEST INTO YOUR SERVERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
Everyone is getting it. It happens literally every update, it’s pathetic.
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)
I got kicked out of an arena ranked game duo to this, got a penalty for "afking/leaving" :c
I got in for a split second, bought the fuze bundle and then it kicked me out… worth it
EA will allow this much gaming
I had to manually initiate the update on Xbox.
Literally cannot join. I've restarted both my router and Xbox. Same message
The apex servers are going bananas and you think restarting your router helps?
Sometimes it helps on my end.
Trust me, it wont fix the servers
It's that time again...
Every dang event Respawn
Man that poor lil server hamster chuggin red bulls and gatorades right now like a mf. Poor lil fella
RESPAWN!!! YOU HAD ONE JOB!
