"Connection to server time out"
So I love playing Apex Legends. But, I been having an issue with the game. When I play "Solo" I play just fine. When playing with a duo or trio I get an error. It frustrates me that I can't play with my friends. I've tried everything I could on the internet. Video such as, [New Update] Apex Legends - Fix "Connection To Server Timed Out" | Unable To Connect To EA Servers, Apex Legends Unable to connect to EA Servers - How to fix Connection to server timed out, Fix Apex Legends "Unable to Connect to EA Servers" | "Connection To Server Timed Out" Error, and many others. And none of the videos I watched worked. I really hope that someone sees this that can help me out. Or even someone who works at Respawn Entertainment could fix this error in next update for the one after that. I love this game and would play it even more with friends. Please share to get the word out there.
Edit 1: I forgot to mention this, but whenever the error pops up my game freezes a few seconds beforehand. So I ready up in my party there's a chance for my game to freeze. Then a few seconds later is when the error comes up. If my game doesn't freeze I get into a game.
Edit 2: Also forgot to ask this, when I do get into a game with my friends. The game after my background in the lobby, the blue flames or smoke in the background freezes. To me is basically an indicator that when my party ready up I'm gonna "Lose connection".
Solved! Go to Solution.

If you're still looking for help getting into the game we've seen some players fix connectivity issues and being stuck frozen at a game menu by switching their DNS (switching to Google's recently seems to work best). Have you tried switching the DNS? We have some connection troubleshooting steps below if you haven't tried those yet.

Try some of the solutions here: (treat it like a connection issue)
Altho its for Origin, the cleanup should also affect apex.

Sorry i should have been more specific, try the How do I fix remaining connection issues with Origin? section.
Try cancel the port setting changes please.
