I literally just got done talking with another support official and they said they are not aware of a solution for this issue. People have been dealing with this for over a month in certain cases. They know how to keep putting out content and selling people more items but can’t fix this issue for so many of us? This needs to be repaired before the collection event on the 9th or there needs to be some serious reimbursement for us who’ve missed out because of issues on your end!

Thanks for the updates, everyone.
This issue isn't limited to just Steam. We've been gathering information from people on all platforms who have been running into the same situation. The team is still looking into this, and we'll share any updates on this as we have more information.

What happens when the bug occurs? This happens on Steam-PC and on Origin-PC launcher. Multiple scenarios: 1. Screen goes black with red loading sign in the right bottom corner. --> Returning to intro screen without any message 2. Screen shows loading picture I've set up last season (Fight Night Pathfinder w thumbs up) --> Returning to intro screen without any message 3. Intro screen shows text with 'Attempting connection (x of 9)' or 'Retrieving Matchmaking List', then goes over to scenario 1. or 2. 4. very rare: After the loading screen I can see the lobby for 1 ms and then it throws me back to the intro screen. Side-Effects: When my friends invite me into a game (via steam friends list) --> I accept the invite --> Intro screen goes to loading --> take randomly scenario 1.-4., but my friends say they can see me for a short period of time in their lobby
What should be happening instead? I'm landing in the lobby
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Don't know. Two friends I wanted to play with don't have this bug.
Notes:
- played last time in season 7 like one or two weeks ago, so first try after the last update
- both versions installed are at version 3.0.6.97
- reinstalled my NordVPN client a day ago, before I tried to play
- last time I played, there were no problems
- last season was the first time I've spend some money for apex coins and bought the battle pass
- the video of Fuze blowing up Worlds Edge was shown on my first attempt to login
Steps I've already tried and NOTHING WORKED:
- flushing, renewing, reseting(to Google Servers) DNS
- repairing game files
- repairing AntiCheat
- restarting router
- port forwarding these ports https://help.ea.com/en-au/help/faq/opening-tcp-or-udp-ports-for-connection-issues/?product=apex-lege...
- installing game on steam --> trying both installations. steam and origin
- changing game language in steam from english to german
- running game as an administrator
- installing new network drivers, chipset drivers, audio drivers (they were outdated anyways)
- changed to different server locations; always ~25ms 0%PL
--> I don't think that the game is broken. I logged into the game with the account of a friend and it put me right into the lobby, so this worked! --> tl;dr: I guess my account is broken!

im with the same problem, already updated everything in my computer and repaired Apex but it doesnt seem to work at all.
February 2021
Apex launches and gets to Home Screen. Once I try to continue it goes to black loading screen then back out to main menu. I’ve tried restarting everything, deleting and downloading origins and apex, nothin worked. this a server issue? Or should I be doing something else? Any help would be appreciated, it’s been two days of this and I wanna play the new season.

Everytime I hit connect it loads into lobby then instantly kicks me back out again, this has been going on since the start of season 8. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMMAbULVRLM&ab_channel=jhartles here is a video of the problem.
