The Apex Legends community is witnessing a lot of discussions on forums like Twitter and Reddit regarding the persisting server issues. Respawn Entertainment announced that the devs were looking into the matter and that a patch had been sent to fix the server issues.

Despite these efforts, the Apex Legends player base continues to face the aforementioned server issues which they were facing before the patch update was released.


The current situation in Apex Legends

Apex Legends players are still facing a myriad of problems ranging from not being able to enter into the game to players getting abandonment penalties in Ranked games due to glitchy servers.

The Apex Legends player base enjoys playing this game, but it’s frustrating for a lot of players who are not even able to enter the game. While a majority of the players are facing several issues, there are a few players who have no hitches while playing the game.

The devs at Respawn announced that they had sent out a client-side patch that would fix the server crashing issues and 'user disconnected' errors that players are facing in Apex Legends. Here’s a list of fixes Respawn claims to have made during the most recent patch sent out on September 22, 2021.
