Potential fixes for Apex Legends "CE-34878-0" error

If this problem is confirmed to be an issue on the client side (on your end), you can try out these fixes to hopefully bypass it:

1) Check your internet connection

If you have a faulty internet connection, it might be a possible cause for this error. Do a complete sweep of your internet connection and check whether all the devices, such as your router, and your PlayStation's internet connectivity are all functional.

Furthermore, if you are in the habit of using wireless connectivity to play live-service multiplayer games, you must stop it. Playing games on wireless internet connectivity is a sure-shot way to be a victim to packet loss and other related network issues.

If possible, consider opting for an ethernet connection for your PlayStation device. Connecting an ethernet cable to your PS4 or your PS5 will provide your console with seamless internet connectivity, preventing any future network issues, including the Apex Legends "CE-34878-0" error.

2) Reinstall the game

Since PlayStation does not offer any of the consoles the option to validate or verify the integrity of your game files, there is no possible way to be certain whether they are intact or corrupted.

Issuing a clean installation will ensure that all your game files are in perfect order, preventing the occurrence of the Apex Legends "CE-34878-0" error. More often than not, minor hitches in one's internet connectivity can cause game files to get corrupted. With file verification not being an option in PS devices, players are left with no option but to reinstall a game to bypass such errors.

If the error is confirmed to stem from the server side, i.e., on the developer's front, there's no other option but to wait for an official hotfix to come out. It must be noted that the fixes listed above are only meant to fix the problem if it occurs on the client side. Server-side issues can only be fixed by the official development team.

You can expect a statement from the official Apex Legends X handle once Respawn Entertainment has identified the cause of this error.
