I am having an issue where I cannot remain in the lobby with my friends after a match.We all return to the lobby after a match but, if I can see them in the lobby, it does not register when they ready up. I do not ready up on their screen either. Otherwise, I go back to the lobby and it says they are still in a match. The only remedy I have is leaving their lobby and waiting for an invite. I cannot re-join because it says their lobby is full on my friend's list. This happens with both of the friend's I play with. Also, I occasionally cannot load a match on my own after I return to the post-match lobby which requires me to restart the game since there is no "leave party" option.I am playing on a PS4. This issue didn't happen until after the recent update. I was playing for the last two months without issues. I am planning on removing and re-installing the game but I am looking for options before I do another big download.Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I personally don't have the issue, but am typing this on behalf of a friend who does, she has experienced the issue on both ps4 and pc, but not on xbox. Repairing the game on Origin doesn't seem to help, and the issue persists on different accounts as well.

Hello Kent,Thanks for your reply and apologies for my late one! I have gone through the basic steps of resetting my router and what not. I am not having any internet issue connections though. My connection to the Apex and PSN servers never breaks. I am using a wired connection, getting about 30 down and 3 up through my PS4.I have since tried switching my Apex server to the same one as my friends but it makes no difference. I typically play on Oregon servers and they use St.Louis (although we are all local to each other). My ping is usually around 47ms with 0% PL.I have learned that if the issue is occurring I do not see myself "ready up" in the lobby but my friends will. When they join a match, however, I will still be in the lobby with them, everybody "unready." My friends and I have pretty much given up on this working. I now just leave after every match without thinking. Maybe this gets fixed in the next update...

@butchuggin @mat0xx @EA_Kent 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.

I deleted and re-installed the game and the issue persists.It turned out my PS4 was not current but I updated it this morning and the issue persists.I have also learned that if my friends ready up after a game they will launch a new match without me. We never see the ready up status change.Any help would be greatly appreciated. Leaving the lobby after every single match is getting annoying.Thanks.

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 got it fixed by switching routers. Unfortunately that was the only thing that made it work for me.

I'm unable to quit a lobby (while the host is still in a match and I'm just at the main screen)
Going to settings to hit quit lobby won't help.
I have to close out the game in order to leave

What modem/router combination do you have? Is it a 2 in 1? Are they split? Are you wired into your router/modem or are you running wireless? Have you tried running an ethernet cable directly to your router.

On top of trying video guides, a lot of this has to do with connectivity. You may have internet, however there is not a strong healthy connection. This happens quite often on wireless, and in some cases, plugged in. (Always having party member pre-loading show up when queueing with friends)

This is something I have personally encountered in the past and I will say that changing my router from my ISP's was a complete 180 on my connection and speeds in general.
The router they provided was not sufficient, so I bought a router and the rest was history.
If this is an option (if you have a split router/modem) to buy your own router.

Nighthawk routers are fantastic and very cheap for what they're worth, may you go this route.
If you choose not to go this route, go about getting a new outlet turned on in your house and moving the router closer to your device, away from corners that would interfere with it.

But as a checklist before going down this route
- check that your modem/router software are updated
* check internet speeds / connection health.
* check that you have no packet loss.
* check that you have no drops in connectivity.
- check that your ps4 software is updated
*clear cache on your ps4/apex
*check that apex is updated

Respond back if this is anything you've tried before and we'll go from there.

Hi PS5 player here,, I’ve tried everything mentioned in this topic but with no success. Until I decided to set my mobile phone as a hotspot in order to check if it was my glass fiber modem. All of a sudden I had no issues, of course very happy but not really a permanent solution. Then I found out that my provider assigned me a fixed/static IP address. After I had them change it to dynamic up address all the problems where solved. To me it is still strange because I’ve played Apex for a very long time and only a couple of weeks ago it all of sudden didn’t work anymore. Anyway wanted to share this solution with you, maybe this helps .

Good luck and cheers!
