Restart your game and the whole client for a fresh session. This can help the game engine start some functions that might have failed.
Check your internet connection. An unstable internet connection can cause the game client to lose its link to the official server and cause an instantaneous disconnect.
You can also try restarting your internet modem to ensure you have a fresh connection. This might solve any connectivity issues and help you enter the game.
You should contact the official EA support team for necessary assistance. This can help you work through the issue and bring the developers’ attention to the problem.

If all else fails, you might have to reinstall Apex Legends on your device. However, this should be considered a last resort instead of hastily removing all game files.

Possible Reasons

The entire error code reads like an issue that likely occurs on the server side. The problem seems to be associated with a problem when you are trying to join another player while they are already in a match. It will initially let you enter the lobby and then quickly disconnect while displaying the error dialogue box.

However, it subsides once the other player is out of the match. After that, you can join their lobby normally and queue up for any mode from the playlist. This might also be a side-effect of the most recent update as new additions to an online game have been noted to give rise to unintentional bugs.

In case you are facing this issue, it is best to reconnect to the game and ask your squad mate to send you a fresh invite for the lobby. If this doesn't work, we recommend raising a ticket to the official support team.
