Community ManagerHi suburbanrelaps,
Sorry to hear you’ve been running into code: Tap so frequently since the start of Season 31. I can understand how disruptive this is when it repeatedly prevents you from getting into Ranked matches.
Since the issue appears to happen specifically while connecting to Ranked servers, please try the following:
- Restart Apex Legends and your PC.
- Verify the integrity of your Apex Legends game files.
- Try switching to a different Data Center from the title screen.
- Temporarily disable any VPN or unnecessary background network applications.
- If possible, test a few matches on another network to see whether the same issue occurs.
You can also check our How to fix Apex Legends™ error codes guide for general troubleshooting.
Thanks for taking the time to report this.
No, these do not solve anything. I have tried all of them. I imagine the issue must be with ranked matchmaking on the server side. Otherwise, why am I able to connect to playlist, public matches, and wildcard without any issues.

Hi suburbanrelaps,
Thanks for confirming that you’ve already tried the previous troubleshooting steps.
One additional thing that may be worth trying on PC is completely closing any overlays and unnecessary background applications, as another program running in the background can sometimes interfere with the game.
You can follow this guide here: How to close background applications
Since you mentioned that the issue only happens when connecting to Ranked while other modes work normally, please let us know if closing the background applications makes any difference.
Thanks again for continuing to update us.
After a restart, where Apex is the only application open in the gui, no steam overlay, no AMD overlay, the issue persists.
I'm facing the same problem too
