Anyone on Win7 that can confirm that their Apex still works? No longer works?

I know I'm well overdue for an OS update.

Nevertheless, I'm suspecting that the cause of my issues (and another Win7 user I found) is that the Season 17 update has also ended Apex for Windows 7. Tried everything I can think of/have found, including full re-installs on both Steam and EA, and much file/repair shenannigans.

If you use Windows 7, can you simply reply to say whether Apex Season 17 does or doesn't work for you?

Cheers.

I'm having this issue, too.
Windows 7, and I've tried every solution I could possibly find; none of them have worked.
I hope EA fixes this soon.

I have exactly the same problem on my two PCs with Windows 7

I have this problem also, Win 7

Getting tired of checking back here, I am surprised they didn't check it in Win 7 before they released the patch. Also surprised they are just ignoring this problem here in the forums.

Windows 7 is a reliable rock solid OS and this game worked great in it, what happened ?

If it is over for us on this game, why not let us know ?

Hey @SuperShirtGuy,

This is still under investigation, afraid we just don't have any new updates to share at this point.

You're welcome to follow along on the Trello board as well if you'd prefer that, as it has been added there for tracking purposes.

We'll share any updates here as well once we have them, thanks for hanging in there.

@XenialJesse I think Saturday the 20th of May was the last day I was able to play Apex. Since then I haven't been able to establish any connection with the servers via EA Launcher or Steam, and the ping of the servers is either -1 or 800+. Meanwhile, the packet loss is all over the place from 0 to 100. Ridiculous.
