Hello, I am experiencing a persistent issue with Apex Legends on Steam, the game gets stuck on the loading screen indefinitely. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the game three times, updated my graphics card drivers to the latest version, added the -novid command to the launch parameters, disconnected all peripherals from the PC, disabled fullscreen optimizations, changed my DNS settings to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, ran ipconfig /flushdns and netsh winsock reset in Command Prompt, cleared Steam download cache, reset my PC's network settings, added Apex Legends to Windows Firewall exceptions, verified the integrity of the game files and even waited more than 30 minutes on the loading screen with no progress. Despite all these attempts, the game still remains stuck on the loading screen every time I try to play. Could you please provide further assistance or any advanced troubleshooting steps I might have missed. Thank you.

I'm gonna chime in here, I'm also having the same issue. During the past weeks, on that infinite loading screen, it would occasionally prompt me to sign in because "Apex Legends requires and EA account" or whatever bs it says. Once I sign in to my EA account and even click "Remember this device", when I close the game and open it again, same issue happens.
Now, when it did had me sign in, on my EA account, under "Linked devices", my PC would should up each time I had to sign in, even though I'm using the same PC, just the one, it shows up as a different device. At one point I had over 15 devices, "FIFTEEN"! BUT it was all just one device, my PC.
Up until about 3 days ago, I stopped getting that prompt to sign in, and I'm just stuck looking at that **bleep** infinite loading screen.
Tried reaching out to EA, nothing, did most of the steps you did, still nothing...
I also tried Apex on a different account, same thing again...infinite loading screen and never prompts me to sign in anymore.
