Infinite Loading Screen Issue
After the latest update, the anticheat software was inoperable with the PC version of Apex Legends, so I had to delete the game and reinstall from scratch. Though now that its partially functional, it seems to have created other issues. I also deleted the profile as well, to remove any leftover artifacts from the previous install.
SDELETE64 -ACCEPTEULA -Q -R -S -NOBANNER "%UserProfile%\Saved Games\Respawn"I manually fetched the DNS queries to test for connectivity, and it seems to have no problems connecting to the servers, though it might be a backend issue since the transition to AWS, or so I have read. The EA App and accompanying game files are already whitelisted with firewall rules. For reference, on the previous versions, and with the Origin App, both before and after the merge to the EA App ( which occured right after April 4th 2025 ), I had no issues loading this game. This account is not linked with other platforms, and the game has never been registered on any other platform.

UPDATE: I used an older method to solve the issue, which involves temporarily connecting to a server outside of the region or continent that you would normally use. It streams content after installing, like a mobile game, so this method allowed me to reconnect back to a server located in the same region I was initially playing on, without any issues.
