Apex Legends: How to fix issues
While Downdetector now shows that the issues faced by gamers have largely been resolved, here's what to do if one cannot enter the lobby of Apex Legends.
If there is no server outage, then the ‘can’t load into lobby' issue can be fixed by changing the server region on the title screen, or restarting the game as an administrator.
However, the issue had been from Apex's side, so user level fixes would not have worked. Now, these issues seem to have been cleared up and gamers can return to enjoying the Battle Royale.
