I have been having the same "player" glitch the entire time i've been playing apex. I can play a couple games, but randomly it will kick me from the party i'm in and won't let me re-join the party. when i restart apex, my name and level do not show up and it says "player" there instead. In the main menu screen i can see all of the various pings for each server so it's clear my game is connecting, but for some reason my profile won't. this glitch has the nasty habit of letting me play a few warm up solo games, but as soon as i get an invite from a friend, i cannot join and the "player" glitch will happen. sometime this will last five minutes, but more often than not, i cannot play for the rest of the day.
Another glitch happens when i try to load into the game. i cannot make it past the main menu because i am "unable to connect to EA servers" even though it CLEARY shows the ping and packet loss of every server. If i load up another online game of test my internet connection, i can play perfectly fine. This is a problem with APEX, not my system and not my internet. I honestly don't know why i still play.
This is beyond frustrating as i have spent more money in this game than any other. Please fix this. I'm playing on Ps4.
