Apex Legends thinks computer is Offline when starting up

When I launch Apex Legends from the Origin client, the small window with Apex Legends and Easy Anti-Cheat pops up, the bar fully loads, then the window disappears and I get an error message saying "We've noticed your computer is currently offline. To activate this game on your computer using your EA account, you'll need to connect to the internet." I am connected to the internet with an ethernet cable, and wifi backing that up. There's no reason why it shouldn't launch, yet it won't. Already gone through most standard troubleshooting steps. I haven't seen anyone with the same issue, does anyone have ideas on how to fix this?

    Guys, i found solution for myself, hope that it could help all of u too.

    In my case the problem was with winhttp settings.

    i changed my winhttp proxy to default through cmd, because it was set to old network and now it didnt work in default net (for my internet provider)

    So, u have to change yours by "netsh winhttp import proxy source=ie". (it set the proxy for windows updates). Also for more information u can google about netsh winhttp 

    First of all u have to set ur right proxy in system, then u go to cmd and do that stuff.

    If it helped u please share it with others

  • @Theilon Hi did you ever get this fixed? i just updated my computer and apex and now i have this same issue? cheers
  • Can you play it now mate??? I know it's been 3 years but I don't find a solution yet... But like it happened to me suddenly out of nowhere(it happened this morning), I can play it now, despite of trying all the solutions possible and not working for a whole day(not factory reset included). I guess the problem is the EA servers, it didn't decode our proxy servers very well and randomly thinking we are offline! Anyway, in my case, the solutions were pointless and a waste of time. 

  • add an exception to your antivirus program I was getting the same problem in apex legends game and I added it as an exception to the antivirus program my problem was solved
