How to possibly fix Apex Legends Party Not Ready bug?

Here are a few methods that you can try to get through the Party Not Ready bug in Apex Legends:

• Try leaving the lobby and going back to the main menu. Change your server region and re-enter the game. After that, join the squad lobby again to try and click ready for the matchmaking queue.
• If this does not work, try restarting the game and the game client. By doing so, you can check for any new updates that may be available for download. This can solve a lot of problems and help you play the game smoothly.
• You can also verify the game file integrity to ensure that your system is not missing any files that might restrict you from matchmaking. If any file is missing, the client will automatically download and install it.
• A quick check on the status of your internet connection might also be useful. There is a small possibility that you can't queue for a match due to an unstable network. We recommend you use an ethernet cable instead of wireless for gaming.

It is important to note that you should report any such bugs and errors to the official Electronic Arts support team. Before resorting to a complete game reinstallation, it is best to raise a ticket to get the necessary assistance.

Possible reasons

This seems like a game issue that could be rooted either on the server or the user side. If servers are overloaded, the game might restrict you from queuing for a match. In the same way, if there is an issue on your system (PC or console), the client can prevent you from entering the matchmaking pool.

The exact reason for the Party Not Ready bug in EA's battle royale title is unknown and might also have multiple different factors affecting it.
