Since its release in February 2019, Apex Legends has seen countless bugs. Some have been fixed, but others are still happening.
Here are Apex’s well-known issues, their meaning, and how to fix them.
Before trying the solutions listed below, remember to reboot your computer or console and check the Apex servers status. Repairing the game files or running it as administrator are also some of the most effective ways to fix various errors.

Some other bugs don’t have a code name and can happen after important updates or server issues. For example, the “Party not ready” bug can be fixed simply by restarting the game or creating a lobby initiated by another player.
The “Party Leader Quit” issue can be fixed by taking back the lead of the party. Lastly, the PC bug “Out of Sync with server” can be fixed by changing the settings of the game. In the Video tab, set “Texture Streaming Budget” to “None.” This will reduce the resolution of the game. If it’s not enough, other video options can be lowered.
