Setting "viewModel" does not exist error

Ok, so this is the worst error I just faced and probably the players on that server.

So, I was playing ranked and something odd happened. The Wraith just keeps on disconnecting while playing the game. At first I thought it's just nothing maybe he has connection problems or only he got an error but it gets worse later. We we're pushing the enemy squad  and the squad are just doing nothing like they're AFK. We killed them but now I got this error showed up and thought its just an another small error. I connected back and it was fine and the Wraith again was disconnected then I got disconnected again. This happened like 5 times until the continue button on the error screen cant be clicked anymore. The Escape button works but you can't connect back to the game. I tried closing in Apex and opened it then joined back. I did manage to get back but both of my teammates are now disconnected and the error screen again showed up. I closed and opened Apex again. The error didn't show up now because we lost the match.

Why are the enemy squad involved? Because maybe they got the same error I have and maybe my teammates. This error just ruined my ranked match though and probably also the players who played on that server. Just lost 24 RP. So please fix Respawn.

BTW Respawn, you guys are doing great! I really love the Season 5 updates.

    I have the same error.
    Can't recall if an enemy squad was involved.
    I myself couldn't reconnect to the server, but If I'm understanding the error correctly, it might just be something as simple as a weapon cosmetic from myself or cosmetic from another player which hasn't loaded correctly.

    Please advise if the fix should be done on my side or server side.
    Thank you.

    Hey guys. 


    Apologies for the late reply on this. 

    Does it seem like this happens consistently when you're playing as (or with) a specific Legend? Does it seem like it's just happening with Wraith, or have you noticed it while other Legends are around as well?

  • I don't really know.

    The error only happened that day and it's fine now kind of

    @Salturation 

    Gotcha, I appreciate the details. 

    If it does happen again can you let me know? Thanks!
