Apex Legends Genesis Stuck On Loading Screen (Worked fine before update).

Apex Legends genesis stuck on loading screen in a repeating loop. Like the Apex Predator icon just loads over and over.

  • AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 6-Core Processor                3.80 GHz
    3200 DDR4 32GB
    Inland SSD NVMe (OS, Game installed on this drive).
    Windows 10 Pro 64 bit OS build 19043.1052 Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.2020.0
    GTX 1070 EVGA SC 8GB (471.11 driver).
    Motherboard ASUS B450 Strix Gaming-F

No errors in event viewer for the issue. I've closed Apex Legends from the task bar to try 3 times to get the game to load.

Will update this as I go along trying different possibilities.


This Fixed My Issue: Clear cache to fix problems with your games 

I only did the following below. Hope this helps someone.

ORIGIN - WINDOWS

  1. If Origin is running, close it by clicking Origin in the menu bar then Exit.
    • Double-check that Origin is fully closed. If it isn’t, you won’t be able to complete all the steps.
    • To double-check, open Task Manager and go to Processes. Make sure that Origin.exe and OriginWebHelperService.exe aren’t there. If they are, end the tasks to close them.
  2. Hold the Windows key + R.
  3. In the command box that opens, type %ProgramData%/Origin then click OK.
    Command box with text inside.
  4. Delete all the files and folders inside it except for LocalContent. Do not delete this folder.

    Origin folder with LocalContent folder highlighted. Do not delete this folder.

    • If you’re on Windows XP, you’ll find the ProgramData folder in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application data\Electronic Arts\

  • I have had this Problem from the start of the genesis update, (months ago).  I find It very annoying as I used to enjoy playing apex, and I played it quit frequently. 

    NONE of these tricks have worked, I have reached the far side of the internet looking for them. I made a new account for origin and installed it on there, (I used to only use steam), and it STILL does not work. Redownloaded it as well.

    If it is not fixed by the time this new season comes out I don't think I will try anymore.

  • I think the most infuriating part in this is the silent treatment offered by EA about the issue for a month or so now. An issue THEY implemented with the Genesis update... 

    And I guess as not every players are impacted, they don't really care after all.... 

    Except few basic troubleshoot, nothing...

    Do they acknowledge the problem? We don't know...

    Do they work on the issue? We don't know...

    Can we expect a patch anytime soon? We don't know....

    Will they release horribly expensive cosmetic? This, we know!!!!!

    I can tell you for sure they arn't working on the issue

  • I also have this issue  but is it just me or is the data center not fully downloading (504) so I cant change the data center and I have an ethier net cable connect to an xbox series x

  • They are too busy telling people that they are chasing cheaters and making new skins. Shame that company like this has made this good game. 

  • This problem still affects me, Origin&Steam.  Nice to see it's been a month+ since it all started ☹️
