[Steam] Game Crashes When Opening & When Switching Game Modes
Been having this issue since Season 27. Will open Apex Legends in Steam. Will click continue and when it gets to the News Feed, it freezes and closes. Here are the things that I have tried: Verifying the file integrity. Still crashes. Have uninstalled and reinstalled. Still crashes. Stare out my window hoping that nature will provide me some divine intervention to get the game to load. Still crashes (but at least I saw grass). The only thing that seems to work is waiting an hour or so and it eventually works. Why does it do this? I don't know. If I knew I probably would've figured out the bug by now. But alas... I am not an IT person. But back to the issue at hand. I don't want to wait an hour to play the game. I want it to work when I wish to play it. And after that hour or so when I'm able to play the game, I can only play one mode. If I switch to any other mode, the game crashes. And when I open the game again and click the mode I wanted to play it (you probably guessed by now) crashed. Please help IT gods and goddesses so fair in judgement. Only you can prevent game crashes.

Hello, When I join my friends’ lobby (they are on Xbox or PC and I am on PS5), we very rarely manage to start a match together. Most of the time, they load into the game without me, even though I am in the party before they start matchmaking. On my side, I stay in the lobby or get stuck on the loading screen while they are already in the match. To make it work, we have to restart the game several times (both me and my friends), and after a few attempts it sometimes works when we are only 2 in the lobby, never when we are three, but it is very inconsistent and unreliable. This makes it almost impossible to play together. Troubleshooting already tried: Restarted the game and the console multiple times. Cleared the PS5 cache (full power down, unplug, etc.). Rebuilt the data base. Checked that crossplay is enabled in the game settings. Re‑added friends via EA IDs. Tried different data centers/servers. Tested my internet connection (stable and working fine with other online games). Deleted the game and reinstalled it. Can you fix the issue ?
Controller aim assist feels much weaker after the update
Hi everyone, I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed a change to controller aim assist since the recent update. No matter which response curve I use (Classic, Linear, or ALC), aiming now feels much "slipperier" than before. The aim assist slowdown around the center of the target seems much weaker, making it harder to stay on target and causing the aim to feel less stable. I'm not trying to complain or argue that one response curve is better than another. I just want to know: Has anyone else experienced the same thing? Has Respawn confirmed any changes to controller aim assist? Or could this be an unintended issue? Thanks!
I have a problem with latency on ApexLegends.
Hello, So I cant really find much on the problem im having so I thought id write here. Ill start by saying my wifi is pretty good, 350mbps upload, 9ms (most games) but for some reason apex is just terrible with it? I load up apex on eu servers (Live in the uk) and for some reason get this (Look under) Ping is fine 30ms, but loss 0/61. Its like this every single time I play apex, Ive tried many fixes but nothing works. However when im tabbed out I get this (Below) Like how does this make sense? I tab into the game and straight to 60PL, Clearly there is nothing wrong with my internet but the game? Has anyone had the same problem and found a fix for this? I love playing this game but its unbearable sometimes. Thanks - Ryan.

I live in Asia, so there's a time difference. My Nintendo Switch was locked on July 20, 2026 at 13:42:49. But I must clarify, I've never bought a Switch, and I don't understand how someone without a Switch could cheat. Why do I have a Switch account? Because I registered an account because I wanted to buy a Switch, but I haven't had the chance to buy one yet. So I don't understand why my account was banned; I've only ever played games on my computer. I have filed appeals, but they have all been rejected.

Bug Description: I am experiencing a game-breaking bug in Season 29 that causes my client to completely freeze, leading to an unfair abandon penalty and RP loss. When loading into a match, the game becomes extremely laggy and then freezes entirely. My character is locked into whatever action I did last, and the game world stops updating on my screen, even though the match continues without me. I am getting latency spikes on my ping indicator (as shown in the attached video). The strangest part is that my text chat still works perfectly. I can type to my teammates, and they can respond to me in real-time. This proves my connection to the server is still active, but the game logic and movement are completely frozen. When I am forced to restart the game, I am met with a code:snake timeout. The game registers this as an abandon, resulting in an immediate matchmaking penalty. This has happened twice now, and I have unfairly lost a total of 330 RP (-165 x 2). Troubleshooting Steps Taken: I initially thought this was a localized network issue, but my internet is perfectly fine. I ran a speed test during the freeze, which showed normal results. My brother was playing League of Legends on the exact same network at the same time with zero issues or lag spikes. This is clearly a client/server desync issue on EA's end, and it is incredibly frustrating to be punished and lose RP for a game bug. Please investigate this routing/desync issue immediately.
