Hi

1. I play on Microsoft Xbox One and I live in the UK (my nearest data center is London.

• Starting some time in late August, I attempted to play apex legends, but in the bottom right corner where it usually shows the data center, ping, and packet loss, it just showed "Data center: Downloading...504". The data center would not download and it wouldn't let me continue into the lobby as a result. I pressed right thumbstick to try to select another data center, but none showed up (it was just a blank screen). I tried quitting the game and reloading it, but this also didn't work. I checked my internet and it was working fine. I then tried turning my Xbox completely off and then on again, but this also made no difference. I then uninstalled apex and reinstalled it. The game worked for a day, then the next day had the same issue. I again tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game, but this time it made no difference at all. In the few days after that, it worked on some days but not others, until it gave up completely and has now had the downloading...504 issue consistently (every day) for almost two weeks. I also tried going offline then back online on my Xbox, but it still didn't work. This same issue has occurred on multiple accounts on the same Xbox, so I don't think it is an account issue. On Titanfall 2, the data center also would not load and when I pressed X no data centers showed up, so I couldn't play multiplayer. The "504" part wasn't there, but it looked like the same problem. This makes me think that it could be an issue specifically with Respawn games? Does anyone know what else might fix this? Thanks.
