Apex Legends Steam Infinite Loading Screen

[KnightBeast11]

It takes forever to load back to the loading screen 

[SpartaNNNN4]

1. Update Windows 10
2. Validate Apex Legends Steam Files
3. Disable Full-Screen Optimization
4. Disconnect Internet While on Infinite Loading Screen
5. Wait One Minute In Starting Screen
6. Remove USB Flash Drive
7. Disable Firewall
8. Repair Apex Legends Through Origin

The USB thingy worked for me, and also for a lot of people on reddit. By the way sources for these is eXputer, they have explained methods in-depth. Just give the USB removal a try, it should work.

Infinite Loading Screen.

This has been happening ever since I linked my account with steam. Now when this happens, I can only login ONCE PER DAY. If I disconnect or close the game and try to boot it back up again, I get this infinite loading screen.

I have tried every single solution I've seen on the internet and NOTHING has worked.

- Restarting PC

- Removing USB devices

- Verifying integrity of game cache

- Flushing DNS

- Reinstalling

- Using a VPN

- Launching through Origin AND Steam (two separate installs, same result)

- Hitting alt-tab with the game open, using browser and signing into origin (seems to have worked once but never again, probably coincidence)

- Disconnecting from internet while the game is booting

- Changing launch options

- Signing into a different account, then signing back into main account

Literally nothing has worked and now I can't even submit a ticket to EA customer support lmao. Wtf am I supposed to do?!

How severe is your issue? Major impacts to gameplay didn't let me play at all
What happens when the bug occurs? The loading screen upon initial game startup does not end and does not allow me into the main lobby no matter how long I wait on the loading screen, it always sends me back to the main menu.
What should be happening instead? It should not load eternally and allow me into the game after a few moments at most.

I'm having same problem, can't get in.

@3utterKing Same issue here.

When I open task manager, I can see that my CPU usage is at 100%, with Apex accounting for 90%+ of that. It doesn't matter how long I wait, it doesn't change.

[Faint_Talion]

Exact the same problem as this guy.

@3utterKing I am on Steam. I am having the same problem. Even when I get in the game runs horribly compared to before the update.
