Re: Issues after Cross Progression is activated on your account? Check here first!

@JordieGz 

Not quite, if you were to connect it to any different EA account, it would take the progress from that EA account, since no progress can be moved between EA accounts.

If you linked your Xbox back to the original EA account where you had unlocked everything, that would still be available to you. 

The issue here was moving your Xbox to a different EA account, not that a lower account takes priority. 

Cosmetics are available regardless of the highest level account, it's only your stats and certain badges that would be impacted by different level accounts.

This explains things a bit more with some tables that may help: Cross Progression in Apex Legends™ (ea.com)

  • Ok I’m understanding better now.

    is there any way to link it back immediately so that i can get my account back now or do I have to actually wait until 05/16/2024 to do it.

    I would definitely try reaching out to support directly to see if they have other options to assist with that re-link.

    If you create a new case here and select Game Support > The EA app > I want to update my EA Account information, you should be able to get in touch with the support team so they can take a look.
  • @EA_Mako Hello, today I received an apex update on my console, I already have cross progression since I can play on PC without problems, I still can't play on my main console, which is an Xbox Series S, I still have the same problem, it doesn't load level or my name above my legend, derived from that I get that the group is not ready or asks me for orientation games. I'm a little confused because it's like my account is on an infinite load on my main console. 

  • @EA_Mako Hello!

    The first screenshot is my problem on PC.

    The second screenshot is my problem on PS5 (464 level on PS5 account is wrong!! it was 620~ level on it) .

    I confirmed cross progress 2nd November and still cant play(i didnt link/unlink anything).

    EA ID: rayalko

    PSN ID: rayalko

    PLS help. Today`s update didnt help

  • Gotcha thank you! 

    When I connect it back to the original EA account, since all of my Xbox progress made was connected with that account, the Xbox account should then take priority correct?

    so instead of level 1, with cross progression it will jump up to the level I am on my Xbox account.

    @JordieGz 

    Assuming your Xbox account was the highest level there, it would be used as the primary account for your stats/badges, correct. 

    Keep in mind that if that other EA account has not yet received Cross Progression, you'll still need to wait for that to be enabled but should be fine otherwise.

    @rayalko 

    This is still under investigation, but you can keep an eye out for further updates here as well.

  • @EA_Mako the focus of the matter is that on Trello it was written on Friday that the problem will be solved "in a future patch" so it was today and problem still there thats why i decided to clarify this, but thanks for clarifications
  • One more question. 

    I’ve opened some cases and I’m not sure how to respond back to the wa member who reached out to me.

    do I just respond back to the email or do I have to click resume case and answer through that?

    it’s kinda confusing.
