Getting abandon game penalties from the game crashing..

I'm going to keep this short and get straight to the point. I keep getting abandon game penalties for reasons out of my control and it's really ruining my enjoyment of the game. A couple of days ago, Apex kept crashing mid-game. Like actually crashing my whole computer to the point where I'd have to reset it. This was annoying, but fine at first since I was given "forgiveness" for a while. But I guess I've burned through all my "forgiveness" and now I'm getting penalties and now I'm up to 90 minutes! I've reduced the freezing/crashing by reducing my Origin friends list down to about 20 people. I'm not freezing/crashing nearly as much now, but it still happens a couple of times a day as opposed to the 5+ times a day from before. Losing hard-earned RP for reasons that aren't my fault is one thing, but to lock me out of the game for faults of the game itself is ridiculous! Can a dev please look into my account and release this stacking penalty that keeps getting applied to my account. I'm sure by tomorrow, I'll find out what comes after a 90-minute penalty and beyond. If this doesn't get sorted out, I'll be done with this game for good since it's literally preventing me from playing it and leveling up!

    The same thing happened to me twice and it's cost some serious points 😡 what good is a game that penalizes for the game servers crashing?

    That's it? I lost 500 today from solo queues  lol. But I do keep getting code:net and booted mid game. I'm on my last abandonment  not by fault warning though. I hope these servers can be fixed. 

  • @JJSugarYT same here. Its getting out hands and recently i dont play ranked. I play much less. I want to finally quit this stupid gane
  • Same thing is happening to me. I literally have it hard wired ps4 and still manages to freeze and eventually kicked out to the tittle page. After trying to reconnect about four times, apex tells me I was AFK then get penalized. This is ridiculous. 

  • I also have crashed due to being placed in a glitched lobby with the only way to leave is by abandoning the game.  Then penalized.  I have also had the game crash or freeze and be penalized.  It just makes me not want to play, so i play something else instead.  Why wait 10m+ for a broken game that will probably just do it again with a longer penalty next time?

  • Just here to point out, that over a year later, this same problem is occurring. Computer just crashed(i suspect it has something to do with the windows update that i have been putting off, for this exact reason mind you) and when i try to hop in and reconnect, well the match was over. My friends told me we got third. They did. I got an abandon game penalty.

    Good work Respawn. Doin a bang up job this weekend.

  • This has happened to me just now and in the past several.times, has a developer ever helped, restored points anything? 

  • Same problem here. My first game of Season 13 resulted in a crash (error code 0x887a0006) before the map even loaded. I log back in and I have a 10 minute abandon penalty. Pretty freaking infuriating.
