Apex won't get past "continue" screen on Steam (unplayable intro l

[ixinchnail]

LAN cable trick got me up and running again on PS5. I would say don’t get caught up on how many times the logo appears for other people. Keep an eye on the logo and let yourself get kicked back to main menu a few times to get a feel on how long your connection process is. Then start pulling the plug around 75% of that time. For me the logo would keep spinning if pulled too soon and of course back to main menu if too late.

I'll rephrase, they owe some guys for coming up with a workaround.

[DYSPROssium · Accepted solution]

CURRENT WORKAROUND
This workaround works for PC and console.

Step 1: Disconnect from the internet when you are in the loading screen ends (around 4 seconds)

Step 2: If successful, it will into the lobby screen. Then connect again to the Internet and spam to collect all rewards Do this fast it's important!
Step 3: If this didn't work, try again it could take a couple of tries. If you try this on steam and it doesn't work, try this with the Origin client.

Last resort:
Creating an alt account to play on.

Of course, this is not a fix, but I marked this as a solution to get the workaround to people who are stuck.

Thanks goes out to our amazing community for finding this!

Does someone know if there is a workaround for someone on PS4 that just has the black screen with music? (After the continue Screen)
The Ethernet trick does not work since I can’t even see the lobby.

Alt account also does not work for me. I created a new gmail and a new psn account just for testing it. But it also won’t get past the continue screen

@DYSPROssiumthis is only a workaround for those that get to see the loading screen for a split second, for those that click continue and get the black loading screen with apex symbol in bottom corner for 60seconds then (code:net) this workaround does not work

My suggestion on the workaround specifically mentions it's better if you have the black loading screen as it gives you more time to do it.

I also had the error at one point.
