Respawn issued a tweet saying "just under 450" players globally have been affected by the login error, and that the team has been "manually restoring" affected accounts. This issue has been persisting for quite some time, as back in February the Apex Legends Anniversary collection event was extended because of similar login errors. Usually, players will experience extremely long load times only to be met with a continual "code:net" error, which will then boot them back to the login screen. The issue is a connection error that occurs right when players try to log in to the game and get to the main lobby.

Unfortunately, some of those new players have probably encountered a frustrating login issue as of late, which is preventing some players from logging into the game entirely. In January Apex Legends hit a new concurrent player record on Steam with almost 130,000 players online at one time. Apex Legends has steadily been growing in popularity, with Season 8 achieving peak performance for the overall playerbase.
