Things are mostly fixed now, but watch out for missing cosmetics
If, like me, you were one of the many excited players eager to jump intoApex Legendslast night to try out allthe lovely new things added in the battle royale’s ninth season, you likely had a rough time logging in. A menu screen telling me there were no servers, the queue for Arenas mode being infinitely long, and losing access to all but the base characters were but a few of the problems I ran into myself. While these things seem to have been fixed now, it’s fair to say the Legacy update had a rough go of it.
“We’re working through some service issues in @playapex at the moment due to high demand,” developersRespawn Entertainment tweetedat 6:38pm BST, not long after the update went live. “We’re on top of it and will get players into games as quickly as we can!”

Two hours after that they were still battling with the server issues,though some players were managing to get into matches. It was around that time I dragged my pals into Apex to see if things were stable enough to play, and after about 10 minutes of the opening screen telling me there weren’t any servers, I eventually got in.
Updates like this typically get a big influx of players, though this particular patch came withthe exciting new permanent 3v3 Arenas mode, which most players seemed to be descending on. For the first few hours of the update going live, I found it impossible to get into an Arenas game. Once the issues started clearing up, however, I had an absolute blast, and I can confirm it’s still just as fun aswhen I tried it out at the preview event.

It’s worth noting that, if you do play some Apex today, you might find your cosmetic items have been unequipped.Respawn say this a minor side effectof their fixes, but it’s all still in your account, you’ll just have to re-equip things like your skins, charms, heirlooms, etc.
