Apex Legends "Unable to connect; reservation timed out"

On my first 3 games on a different map or when I first get on apex, the game freezes when I have to select my legend. Then it gives me code:net. I try to get back into the game but now I see the dropship frozen and I can't move. Then I get hit with another code:net and then instead of putting me into the game it says "Unable to connect. reservation timed out" and im back to the lobby. After 3 games of this repeating i can get past the legend select screen normally but my game is extremely laggy. I get random 150 ping when I should be getting 48-64 ping. This has been happening for a long time and I've already tried restarting my computer, uninstalling apex legends, using different servers, repairing apex, no luck so far. I've done several speed tests saying that i have about 30 ping. Btw I play on PC and use steam so pls let me know if you have a solution or know why this is happening because the game for me is currently unplayable.

  • Having the same issue right now on the start of the Evolution Event, I've already tried everything like restarting my PC, uninstalling and installing apex, repairing apex, flushing my DNS, clearing the game cache, etc. and when I am reconnected to the game either my team has died, I already died, or I'm outside the ring. I hope this'll be fixed as soon as possible

    This patch has been a complete joke, thats me spent 2 hours on abandon game penalty stuck on the loading screen to get the "Unable to connect; reservation timed out" message. Lost 100s of rp so far. A community manager better not tell me its my connection because its happening to everyone at the same time and only filling half the server with players and the rest disconnecting. All other games and apps works fine.

    I doubt they will. EA dont really care about the game its the in game purchases they care about.

  • Also I'm also getting 4/5 games failing on start as well. And the 1 game out of 5 im always in a squad thats at least 1 man down.

    It’s September 18 and I get this issue/code and reservation times out just about every game or every other game. Unplayable at this point. I have a 536 download and 11.98 upload speed. No pocket loss and barely any latency. I play Xbox. I’ve tried every trouble shooting thing in the book and on EA’s site and no fixes.
