Community ManagerHey all.
Just a heads-up, I merged a couple recent threads about this issue together here.
Thanks again for the details you've shared!

I am also experiencing the issue still. Kind of regret trying out the battle pass this season, that is for sure...
Thank you for your suggestion but I did that weeks ago.
Just finished redownload and still the same. But I can confirm that if you die and come back to lobby in under 2:30 min i think, you can queue up again with no problem. So it seems over a certain time "locks" the lobby
I have this issue since I started playing again in Season 4. The problem occurs very irregular. Sometimes I can play a day where I only have to rejoin my friends lobby 1 or 2 times and sometimes (like today) I have to rejoin after every match. It's infuriating to say the least.
I went through all the troubleshooting guides, resetted my router, changed DNS servers, opened every possible port suggested by EA, nothing helps.
My issue persists with the new update.
My team died pretty quickly in one match and the game did function properly after we returned to the lobby. I also think there is some of kind of timer lock that is causing the issue but this is all over my pay grade.
I found a solufion for my issue, it was in the router. We have a omni in our house and for some reason it switched off bridge mode.
So I need to turn on bridge mode on my router? I am still having the issue...
Nobody else I play with has the issue. None of my other games are affected and this issue occurred without me changing anything on my internet. Still, I will look into this. Thanks.
Nope, I am the only player who experiences the issue. I did experience it solo but, honestly, I haven't played solo in ages. Mine worked fine for S4 and the start of S5. It was just a regular update when the issue started occurring on my end.
I'll be honest, I couldn't figure out how to change bridge mode settings. I talked to a more tech savvy friend and he said bridge mode really shouldn't matter since I am the only one using my internet. I don't have any issues with any other games or my internet in general. If I can find an easy fix, it would be great but I am not really too invested at this point. I'm fine with leaving and re-joining lobbies since I've pretty much stopped playing the game anyway. My friends rarely invite me since I am the only player with issues.
And no worries for the wall of text. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Happens to me as well on the PS4, ever since season 4 started. None of the mentioned fixes help. It has to be something on their end.
I'm late to this thread but this issue has been affecting me for like 2 months now (getting more annoying day by day) nothing seems to help.
I tried on my parents internet and it worked. Could be linked to the ISP, but why now? It started happening at the beginning of season 4.
@V01dPlaysIt might be the router settings, if you are using the router provided by your ISP there might be some ports that needs to be opened.
My theory is that they implimented a new function that required a port to be open. My guess is that some routers does not have that open by default.
Here is the ports needs to be open, you could give it a go: https://help.ea.com/en-au/help/faq/opening-tcp-or-udp-ports-for-connection-issues/?product=apex-legends&ajax=1
You could YouTube it also i think!
@Sweeetssthanks for you'r guidance so far. question though, the ports that the ea sites list to open are
I am noticing a video i found on youtube (its older like from early 2019) list a lot of other ports. do you know if these listed are all of them that i would need to open now? did you yourself port forward and potentially use the ones i listed or maybe even more? i am getting very tired of having to back out of my lobby after every match and needing a invite to join my friends lobby (and sometimes that doesnt even work) i just want my dang game to work.
