Community ManagerThat's not the case at all. We aren't finding any issues so far, but are most definitely looking out for them.
Well, all i can say it has happened in some update between Jan 11 2021 and March 23 2021, since that was the time i didn't use the PC and did no updates until yesterday evening. And today when i wanted to play, it took me roughly 5-6 tries to get into the lobby (and last try i let it load roughly 10 minutes), and i had to reconnect my Origin account to Steam on the last try in order to get past infinite loading screen (and it randomly gave me that screen to connect me to the origin account, which i had done in the past so i dont know why that was needed again), then it took good 5-10 minutes for the lobby to sort itself out and i had some lag few games, and last match it tried to connect never did so, and didn't let me to cancel/quit it either. And when i tried to restart the game the infinite loading screen began again.
And no, its not the internet on my end (as every moderator on every game forum will say) as all other games work 100% no lag and this game worked too before in January.
And according to the internet there are almost over 20000 reports of server issues/infinite loading screen problems for 24th March alone, so its not just ''some players'' or ''minority'' 😉

There are millions of Apex players. Not that 20,000 is a small number, but in relation to the overwhelming amount of people playing without issue, it means we need to troubleshoot individually.
Well yes of course, there may be bunch of different variations in play and it takes time, and not everybody has patience to report or just post somewhere since over the years old gamers have gotten used to the fact that servers are not that good for Ubisoft/EA online games as for other AAA titles. So nobody knows how many actually experience the issues other than official forums and downtime report pages. And none of the ''fixes'' mentioned across the net have fixed it so far (other than adding -dev in advance launch options, that works for some guys and gets them into the lobby/seems to speed up load times for some reason)
Its just painful for me and my mates when we have spent money in thousands to support the development of Apex and keep the cool stuff coming but wont be able to play due to some errors in the updates, so that frustrates the hell out of us, but these things happen. I just hope this thing will get sorted soon and the ''minority'' is not forgotten or discarded 🙂 . As an ex game and mods developer i know very well that one false move in coding and all goes to hell, and mistakes are sometimes hard to notice. So we will just wait and see how this works out 😉

Your patience is definitely appreciated. We absolutely want you all to be able to play without issue. Should we discover those issues on our end, we'll do our best to get them resolved as soon as possible.
