Forever stuck on loading screen, no freeze, no errors.
hello,
i wanted to get into apex again , so i freshly installed it from EA App. and when loading up the game i get the intro and then the loading screen with endless loading circle and nothing happens. not even an error message. i can exit the game normally via ESC. but i also tried leaving it on for hours and it doesn't change a thing.
so what in god's name is the game waiting for ?!
researching on reddit and these forums here... the things i tried:
- disable firewall and antivirus completely
- reboot pc & router
- unplug all usb (why does that even seem to help some ppl?!? it points at something really being wrong as to how some checks seem to be programmed...)
- flush dns , change dns to google dns temporarily
- reinstall / repair easy anti cheat (no problems found)
- again re-verify game files (no problems found)
any other internet game works fine, no matter if ea app (battlefield) or steam ....
PLEASE ADVISE! thx in advance!
edit: i want to add that it doesn't seem to have to do with anything network/server related because if i disconnect my ethernet completely and "offline-launch" the game, it won't even get to a point where it would say it cannot connect. it's just infinitely displaying the moving loading circle on the breakout startup sreen.
so. i retried to login once or twice a day in the last days. today out of nothing i got a message about crossplay and something about my "most progressed account" and i clicked okay and it properly logged me into the main menu.
what gives? the only thing i did between checking apex once in a while was playing bg3 campaign on that rig...
thankfully it works now, but very intransparent as to what the problem was to begin with...
