Can’t Join a Game/Orientation Match after Cross Progression Merge

Product: Apex Legends
Platform:Xbox Series X
Please specify your platform model. Microsoft Xbox Series X
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? lyonsie321
Please provide your squad mates' gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name if possible. NA
Are you using any software with an overlay? No
Which Legend were you playing (if applicable)? NA
Which Legends were your squad mates using (if applicable)? NA
Where did the issue occur? In the lobby (waiting area before the match)
Which part of the map or menu were you in? If you don't remember the exact name, please describe the area or what you were trying to do in the menu. In the Menu(Lobby)
What were you doing when the issue occurred? E.g. respawning a squad mate at a beacon, using an ability, a squad mate left the game. My connection dropped during cross progression merge and when I logged back in the issue occurred
Did your squad mates also experience the issue? No
How many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? None
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 08.11.23 10:30
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How severe is your issue? Major impacts to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? What happens is it prevents me from playing any game. My name and level never appears above my head in lobby and this prevents me from readying up. This leads to a "party not ready" message in the game and prevents me from readying up. The other issue I get is it says I need to complete an orientation match even though I've played apex for years, but even if I wanted to play this game mode it wont let me ready up. These errors are encountered even if I can get past the initial screen in the game where sometimes it prevents me from getting into the game saying my profile is not allowed.
What should be happening instead? Normal game function
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Drop connection mid cross progression I think, I'm only guessing how it occurred.

This prevents me from playing any games and as an avid apex player this causing me great upset

  • same thing is happening to me, even emailed EA support about it and was told to "leave the party and rejoin" 😞

  • I've been copping the not permitted profile since ballistic came out and to put this invalid token bug on top of it, I'm lucky to get into see the last skin I had on.

  • Es lamentable tener el mismo problema durante una semana y que no te den solución, implementan cosas que no tienen la certeza si funcionara correcto, en mi caso la progresión cruzada me daba igual y resulte afectado. 
    en ni caso tienen 6 días investigando el problema y nada de soluciones. 

  • some of us are getting banned for no reason after the update so check your ban history an try to get it lifted if it happened to you too.

  • I've been in contact through EA help for the last couple weeks, and one of the many people I've spoken to has suggested to unlink my PSN account, which I linked SPECIFICALLY for cross progression. But because of the dumb design which doesnt allow you to unlink an account after 6 months, I guess im gonna have to wait that time just for a solution that might not even work. It's ridiculous that I now wont be able to play the game for 6 months becuase of an error on their side.

  • I literally had the exact same issue. Almost word for word. The only way I've found to be able to get into a queue is SUPER tedious and works occasionally. But you need a friend to invite you to their party, press accept and immediately ready up, then you can get into one game before you need to restart the game and do the same process over and over again.

  • I may have figured out the issue. Microsoft store was changed to a different log in. When I updated yo use the same as Xbox gamertag it fixed the issue.
