Help! Apex Party Breaking

Ive been having major issues with parties in apex. I can queue solo just fine but when i try to party with friends things get really wonky. It'll queue the psrty leader when its not me without me even though it says im in the party. It'll make it so i cant ready up. I constantly have to restart the game just to be able to play and if i do that too many times it gives me connection errors so i cant even get in at all. 

Sometimes when i load in to the main screen it'll just say "player" above my head and have no level number or anything and i cannot ready up, join or invite friends when that happens.

i have no idea why this is happening and cannot seem to find a fix anywhere.
