Re: [WORKAROUND] Apex won't get past "continue" screen on PC/XB/PS (intro loop)

Okay, THIS kinda works for console (PS4) too. Someone still has to give it a try for XB since i'm not sure it will work there as well.

I suggest you PS4 lovelies to follow what this thread says https://twitter.com/Humber_2499/status/1361188137188302850?s=20https://twitter.com/Humber_2499/status/1361188137188302850?s=20 it's almost the same solution people have given in this thread, but with more console-related details/steps.

And also i suggest XB users to give it a try as well.

I'll lay out the steps here as well, but i recommend checking the tweet out as it has video evidence that might help you out.

  1. The timing for this to be fixed is CRUCIAL. It's okay, it took me about 15-20 minutes to get it right but it works. Don't give up. You have to make sure to have a rapid access to an option that allows you to disconnect and reconnect the internet. For PS4 i suggest you to go to Settings > Network > Connect to Internet. BUT don't disconnect yet. Just leave the option selected as this will create a shortcut for you to have a quick access to it. Then go back to the Apex Legends app.
  2. Click "x" to continue into the game. Now, this is where you have to time things right. When the screen goes black and you have the Apex logo on the inferior right corner of your screen, just as the third red bar of the loading logo is about to go down, double click your PS button on your controller to access the Connect to Internet shortcut we made on step 1. DISCONNECT and CONNECT your internet. Don't disconnect and leave it waiting. CONNECT immediately. Then go back to apex.
  3. If you timed it right, you will get into the lobby for just a bit longer. Here is where you have to expect ALL your rewards to drop spam "x" to collect as many rewards as you can.
  4. Now, it will most likely kick you out again. Don't worry. This means you still have more rewards to collect. So, go back to step 2 and repeat everything. Go back into the lobby and spam x as much as you can to collect everything. You may have to repeat this process 2-3 times. Don't worry.
  5. Once you've collected ALL rewards, you're good to go! You'll most likely be able to stay ingame, and you'll be able to play with no problems.

This worked for me, and i hope it works for other people as well.

Once again, refer to this tweet  in case you want to see video evidence of the steps and this working

Hope this can get solved soon tho.

  • does anyone know if this is working on xbox one. i have been trying, pulling the ethernet cable and and going to settings>network settings> go offline/online. but the xbox seems to have too many button presses that take time. and also the disconnect and reconnect takes ages. it is making it impossible to get the timing right and i'm still ending up with code net. i have never seen the lobby flash up once ever since i got the error a week before season 8. i can't even try the mobile hotpsot on my phone as there is no mobile/cell signal where i live. getting so frustrated

  • I tried this for Xbox dude for atleast an hour it won't work I got my timings rights also 2-3 times but I couldn't see my rewards 

  • @pviesca Hey! What third bar of the logo? The right bar or the left one, that is the last one to drop? I know is a stupid question, but I keep trying and doesn't work, I don't know if I missing the timing or I'm focusing on the wrong bar.

    The last one that drops. I believe it's the left one. It is a bit tricky to get the timing tho. Hope you can get this problem fixed
