I got this porblem for a while now. In game (and sometimes in lobby as well) there are pink glowing pixels all over my screen or interactable objects (like other players, weapons, granades, wattson fences, caustic traps, etc..) are glowing white with black boxes (pixelboxes) all around. It happens on steam and on EA app, it happened on 3 different pcs now with 4 different GPUs. These games are unplayable and as soon as it appears in 1 game it happens in all following games as well. First it only happened after a new version of NVIDEA drivers came out. Now it happens independently of that fact. First reinstall or repairing the game worked for like 5-10 games and then it appeared again. Now even those solutions don't work anymore. I allready posted the problem in the german thread and I was told to ask here because every possible solution for the problem know does not work. I tried so many thing and nothing seems to work. I tried the following things: Repair game, reinstall game, update or reinstall graphic drivers, change graphic settings, Assign the game to the correct GPU, changing from EA App to steam, update windows, and deactivate overclocking.. nothing of these things worked! If you have any solutions I would be very happy.. in this state the game is unplayable for me.

Hello. I’ve been playing Apex for three years, but after taking a break of about two months, I downloaded and tried to play it again, only to find it stuttering severely and becoming unplayable. Task Manager shows 0% GPU usage, even though I’ve already configured the Windows settings to use the graphics card.Solvedl1ues3 hours agoNewcomer15Views0likes3CommentsUnable to connect to EA servers only when launching Apex Legends through Steam
Apex Legends connects to the EA servers normally when I launch it through the EA App on the same PC and network. However, when I launch the game through Steam, I receive the following error: “Unable to connect to EA servers.” I have already tried the following troubleshooting steps: Changed my DNS settings Reinstalled Apex Legends Installed the game on a different drive Verified the integrity of the game files through Steam Reinstalled the anti-cheat software Cleared the Steam download cache Reset the Steam htmlcache folder Reset the Apex Legends user settings folder Cleared the EA App cache Since the EA App version works normally, the issue seems to be specifically related to Steam authentication or the connection between my Steam account and EA account. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? Has anyone found a solution?HT_GANYMEDE4 hours agoRising Newcomer10Views0likes0CommentsHow to get help with Apex Legends account bans and suspensions
Hey Legends, Is a locked, suspended, or banned EA Account keeping you from accessing Apex Legends? If your thread has been merged here, the information below covers the next steps, including how to check your account status and request a review if you believe the action was applied incorrectly.

Check your EA Account email address for details on the action. We may email you from [email protected] regarding any account action, so be sure it's not being filtered to any spam or junk folders. Check the penalty history tool to see whether your account has an active suspension or ban, along with any available details about the action. Review our Rules of Conduct and Positive Play Charter to better understand the reason an account action may have been issued. If your account is locked rather than suspended or banned, check the account recovery steps first before attempting to submit an appeal. Ready to request a review?

Hello, I previously played Apex Legends on Steam-PC. I recently reinstalled the game, but now when I launch it, I'm asked to log in again. After logging in, I receive the following error: "Disconnect: Steam ID mismatch." I've already confirmed that the correct EA account is linked to my Steam account, but the issue still persists. Could you please help me resolve this? Thank you.6Views0likes0CommentsMicrophone Not Detected - PS5
I have gone through multiple YouTube videos and multiple articles but I am still having issues. Whenever I am in Apex Legends, I am missing the options in the Audio settings for anything regarding my microphone. I have also checked and chat is not disabled on the Gameplay settings. I am also unable to hear others chatting in game. My PS5 recognizes my headset and my microphone. When I am in-game, I can hear all game audio, but zero chat audio. Any ideas?5Views0likes0CommentsRANKED BUG!
I have been having an awful ranked experience if that's what you want to call it. Its happened on the majority of my ranked matches, its infuriating because i will get good games, if i even get to play that is, and gain a lot of RP, however the following games it will cause my ps5 to completely crash and power off! Then by the time it turns back on and I am finally able to start the game up, it refuses to put me back in the match and then loose ridiculous amounts of RP, due to the fact it refuses to give me loss forgiveness, and then will either give me a 10 minute ban, But then there are times where no abandon penalty is given and then will try to queue into another match, just for it to happen again and it will then take even more points away, I HAVE LOST HUNDREDS IF NOT OVERE A THOUSAND RP THIS SPLIT BECAUSE OF THIS BUG ALONE!!!!!!!!!! it has made me rage and get off the game or get offline all together!! This also would rarely occur the previous split after a few patches at the beginning of the season given Axel's introduction and all the bugs that came with her which was expected. However this doesn't even happen on Wildcard after long hours of grinding kills and for badges and it doesn't have a problem, or with any other game mode for that matter. And I'm not sure the reason for it but a lot of times i have realized it happens a lot more when Worlds Edge is on rotation and I'm not usually one to contact support but apex is all i ever really play i have over 10000 hours played on PS 4 & 5 combined and I would hate for this to be the reason for me to go after investing not only so much time but money as well and i have reached diamond multiple seasons and once i masters and am trying to reach it again, and l have also hit ranked ladder champion multiple times and received the split long dive trail reward, which i believe should be kept and receive a new color every other time the reward is reached and then can chose the color or add a reactive color trail that adds a color to the trail every time it is reached twice in a split. but I would really appreciate an investigation to this and a fix soon! SO i can get back to trying to hit my ranked goal. And if possible an RP reimbursement of sorts, at least for the games where it crashed and took points not sure if it will show or for the times when it did give me a penalty and took double the points on numerous occasions that would be a huge stress reliever after doing your investigation. Sorry for the lengthy rant of an explanation. i do hope you can figure this out soon and get back to me via email register to this account that would be great!!! I really do appreciate it!!! hope you have a great rest of your Day/Night.6Views0likes0Comments- 18Views0likes4Comments
Cheaters hacked on my account.
Hello, My EA Account was unfortunately hacked around June 2025. The hacker accessed my account and cheated in Apex Legends, which unfortunately led to a ban on my account. I have since regained full control, secured it with 2FA, changed my password and email, and taken all necessary steps to keep it safe. I have already submitted an appeal about the hacking incident, but the ban is still in place. I am the legitimate owner of this account and am happy to provide any verification information needed (such as linked consoles, or other details). Could you please review my case and help lift the ban on my Apex Legends account? It would mean a lot to me. Thank you very much for your help.Solved31Views0likes2CommentsUnable to connect EA Servers- CODE: Anti Cheat Authentication Time Out.
Hello, When I try to log into my Apex Legends account, I receive the error “Unable to connect to EA Servers (Code Anti-cheat authentication timeout).” This issue persists even when I try it on different computers and with various internet connections. My internet connection is stable. I have tried running the EA App and Apex Legends as administrator, but the issue persists. Therefore, I would like to know if there are any restrictions, bans, or anti-cheat-related blocks on my account.Solved124Views0likes7CommentsGame chat bugged

I am Japanese. I haven't been able to play apex since season 23 started. I don't use DS4Windows, rewasd or joy. I want you to tell me what is the cause and what the solution is. I did a lot of research. I heard that the auto hotkey may be the cause, but I don't know how to unlock it or the app that causes it. I would also like to know the name of the file that causes the error. I loved this game and charged tens of thousands of yen. I don't want to end like this.😭😭Solvedmesugaki_chapi31 day agoNot applicable61KViews5likes46Commentsmissing items after account merge
Hello, I am having an issue with my Apex Legends account after linking my PlayStation account and Steam account through the same EA account. Before linking, my PlayStation account had a lot of progress including: Multiple unlocked legends (for example Octane) Heirlooms Cosmetics/skins Badges Ranked season progress and rewards After linking my accounts, only some of my PlayStation items appeared. A large amount of my cosmetics, badges, legends, and ranked history are missing. I have confirmed that: I am using the correct EA account. My PlayStation Network account is the correct one. My Steam account is linked to that same EA account. The missing items were originally earned on PlayStation. I am also seeing strange differences between platforms: On PlayStation my account shows Gold 3. On Steam/PC my account shows Silver 2, even though I have not played enough for these ranks to be different. This makes me think my account progression may not have merged/synced correctly. Is there a way for EA to check my account history and restore the missing progression/items? I have screenshots and can provide account details privately if needed. Thank you.24Views0likes1CommentCan't unlink Steam from hacker's EA account. Need help.
Hi everyone and EA Community Managers, I am facing a severe issue with my Steam account and account linking, and I am currently stuck in a support loop with EA Live Chat. My Steam account (Steam ID: 76561198342624835, Profile Name: FSC_Ze) was previously compromised/hacked. The hacker linked it to an unauthorized EA account with the email "14*****@qq.com". I do not recognize or have access to this QQ email. Because of this, I cannot link my Steam to my actual EA account to play EA games. I contacted EA Live Chat support , but the agent told me they couldn't help because I cannot verify ownership of the hacker's EA account (which is obviously impossible for me to do). I am the 100% rightful owner of my Steam account. I can provide purchase history, receipts, and any other proof of Steam ownership. Could any Community Manager please help escalate this case to the terms of service / account security team, or can anyone advise on how to get a manual unlink? Thank you in advance!High ping on sao paulo 1 (im from uruguay)

My game keeps crashing due to server issues during ranked matches, and I just lost 126 points. When I try to reconnect, it doesn't work because the game thinks I quit voluntarily, and then it hits me with a 10-minute penalty. This isn't the first time this has happened. Are the developers aware of this? Sometimes I can still chat with teammates in game, but nobody can play it, since lag ate the game.Solved1000rr_trc-201 day agoNew Novice33Views0likes2Comments
