I cannot get past the home screen on Apex on Switch. It says “This profile is not permitted to play online.”
I have spoken to EA support and they said to post here because it’s a bug in the game.
I have tested another profile and the game works fine. I’ve changed the DNS settings and it made no difference. No issue with Nintendo membership.
I’ve seen another thread where others said the issue started happening when they changed the in-game settings to enable “convert incoming voice to text”. I enabled this too before the issue started. However unlike the other people in that thread, I can’t successfully click Retry to access the lobby in order to change the setting back. I’m just stuck on homepage.
Please help!
This is happening to me as well. It started over a week and a half ago. When loading into Apex it states:
This profile is not permitted to play online. See ea.com/unable-to-connect for additional information.
The worst part is that playing on my brothers account works perfectly fine. And this is on the same Nintendo Switch.
