(Apex PS4) Can't Login/Party not Ready/ Server Desync

Not the first to report this issue, but since launch there has been a bug in which Apex loses connection to the EA servers after a game or while trying to log in. These are some of the symptoms:

- upon trying to log in the loading wheel will briefly stutter before going on a 15 minute+ load loop

- after leaving a game you will be unable to search for a game due to the "party not ready" message being shown... Even if you're playing solo

- upon returning to the title screen and trying to login you will be presented with "ERROR CODE 0Xffffffffff, UNABLE TO CONNECT TO SERVER"

- restarting apex only results in the long load time

I have been told that testing the internet connection on PS4 help, but it is far from reliable, and of all the posts on this issue I have seen, not one of them have had an official response

I should also add that Titanfall 2 had a similar issue, but was nowhere near as bad

My only guess as to what's going on is that EA's servers are *, although I'd be more than happy to be proven wrong
