Endless Queue time and unable to close Apex without Task manager??

[m0n0crome]

I will cut right to the chase I have contacted EA twice about this problem caused by the patch on the 24/08/2021 and they have done nothing but waste my time telling me to reinstall, change servers and change IPS, none helped I am still stuck endlessly loading worlds edge... Two days ago it was fine then the Patch hit and now I cannot play a single game if I tried. Oh and the EA "Helpdesk" also told me to do a potentially dangerous and pointless Soft Boot reset which achieved nothing but thankfully I managed to do it without properly damaging my start-up process. So now I turn to the players... Does ANYONE know why this patch has killed off my ability to even start the matchmaking process on even the shooting range xD, Because I am at a point of which I think I have no choice but to give up on this game Till a new patch hits at the moment unless someone can find an answer and out-do the 3 EA techies who have failed to do so thus far?

Hey, @m0n0crome  can you try a clean boot to see if any programs are messing with APEX and turn off any overlay programs, such as Discord or Nvidia experience.

Can you add a Dxdiag so we can see what hardware and drivers you have? 

Let me know if this works or not for you.

I'm having the same issue. Typical EA, store works no problem but joining games isn't a priority.

Though unfortunately it looks like disabling Overwolf seems to have actually been the issue. Still not sure why a patch would * that up.
