Possible fixes for "unable to connect to server" error in Apex Legends

Unless it is the launch of a new season, or the mid-season patch, the "unable to connect to server" error in Apex Legends is primarily a client-side error. Here are some fixes you can easily implement to mitigate this issue and get back into your grinding boots:

1) Check your internet connection

If you're experiencing a faulty internet connection, it is the primary cause of this connection error. Minor disruptions in your connectivity could lead to consecutive disconnection from your game and inevitably land with an abandon penalty.

First and foremost, check whether your internet connection is stable, and then further examine whether its connectivity with your computer or your console is functioning without any issues.

In case you use wireless connectivity to play multiplayer games such as Apex Legends, we urge you to shift to an ethernet connection. Wireless connectivity is notorious for causing network disruptions in multiplayer games where the game is extremely sensitive to your connectivity to its servers.

If everything is in order even after these changes, you can try out our other fixes.
