@Illyminati68 I have been having the same problem since beginning of Season 2. At first it would take longer than usual to put me in a game, then I could only play a couple of games then it turned to one a day. From there, when you looking at the legends, skins, guns etc it would be really pixilated as if it's not fully loaded then I could only play a game once in a blue moon. I am unable to play with friends at all. Season 3 came and I got excited thinking oh things would be better,.. sure for a week only. When I was able to enter a game they would be frustrating and unbearable due to multiple other problems. Couple of days in it seemed like the entire game didn't load, my username, level, daily challenges and news had disappeared. The legend in lobby was either frozen, lagging, blurry or pixilated, same goes for other legends and guns. I was unable to enter Training anymore unlike before although it was very laggy and multiple other things. Recently I went back to the game and tried the Firing Range unfortunately it was unable to enter. I asked for helped sometime after it started happening along with a couple of people, we were given help however nothing worked, or they blamed it on something else or they never got beck to us after certain point.
After all that I gave up.

  Didn't know this bug existed all the way back in 2019. First noticed it a few weeks ago and found out I have to wait extra in the main menu until my player name appears.
  Now I'm trying to use the firing range and it doesn't seem to be ever updating. Name is stuck on "Player".
  
  I'm not going to change my DNS to Google. That is not an acceptable workaround. I set my DNS to what I set it to for a reason. I've been using this DNS for years with no issue and had no issues playing Apex since it released. This issue clearly has been occurring for over a year.
  
  Internet is fine as well. This issue is specific to Apex Legends. Several people are getting it under several conditions.
  
  Can we at least have some kind of official statement from the company about this? I was actually about to buy stuff for the first time but this is making me not want to. No point if I can't even play...
  
  Was intending on ramping up play time on this game but this must be fixed...
