Hello everyone,

I'm posting here because I've been experiencing a very frustrating issue with Apex Legends for the past 3 days, and I honestly don't know what else to try.

About 3 days ago, I was playing a regular match with a random teammate. We won the game, and when we returned to the lobby, that player invited me to join their party. However, when I tried to accept the invitation, the game wouldn't let me.

Ever since that happened, my READY button has been completely greyed out, and I can't queue up or start another match.

The strangest part is that the game shows me as being in a party of 0/0 players, as if I'm stuck in a nonexistent party.

I've tried almost everything I can think of:

• Restarting the game multiple times.
• Checking and changing in-game settings.
• Trying different troubleshooting methods outside the game.
• Looking for solutions online.
• Even completely formatting my PC, thinking it might be an installation issue or corrupted game files.

Unfortunately, NOTHING has worked. The problem is still exactly the same.

My game information:

• Game: Apex Legends
• Platform: Steam (PC)
• Operating System: Windows
• Issue duration: Approximately 3 days
• Main issue: Ready button permanently greyed out.
• Party status: 0/0 players.
• Possible trigger: This started immediately after receiving a party invitation from a random player after returning to the lobby from a match we won.

What makes this even more frustrating is that I genuinely want to play the game. I also purchased the Battle Pass, and I'm worried about losing the time I paid for and wasting the $10 I spent because of a bug that I didn't cause.

I don't think players should have to lose access to the game or their Battle Pass progression because of an issue like this.

Has anyone experienced this exact same issue?

Does anyone know how to fix it? Is there
