How severe is your issue? Major impacts to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? I was unable to reconnect to the match and when the game was over, I receive unfair ranked penalty.
What should be happening instead? I should be able to reconnect to the match, and not receive penalty.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Try turning off the internet connection mid game.

I was playing a ranked match, when my router lost connection for about 10-15 seconds. So I was disconnected from the match and Origin closed Apex. After my connection was back, I reopened the game, expecting to be able to reconnect to the ranked match. Instead I couldn't reconnect and my friend list didn't load correctly. After the ranked match had ended, I received the penalty for abandoning the game.

I have experienced this issue a few times now, and so have my friends.

  • @EA_Aljo I have only experienced this issue one time, but two of my friends have experienced the same issue. In my case I lost connection to my own router, no server issues there.
    But then a few seconds after my internet connection had returned I was unable to reconnect to the ongoing Apex match.

    This makes it seem like, the issue lies within the currently implemented reconnect system in Apex, since all 3 of us have been unable to reconnect to a match after losing internet connection for only a short amount of time.
