An advice for those who are still online with the game:
For those who are currently online in @PlayApex Do not log out if you do you won’t be able to get back in cause the servers are down =.=’ . Hope they are up soon!
— Meow (@Lt_Meow_tails) February 21, 2019

Im in— FipsiTV (@Fipsi_TV) February 21, 2019
Thanks. Logged me right in after I re-downloaded the game. Must be a weird coincidence.
— issa papi (@dnlephrm) February 21, 2019
Meanwhile, frustration is mounting up:
@PlayApex one of most important things is communication. if your servers are down tweet that on official twitter and not leave your players in the dark trying to figure out why cant we connect. tweet we are working on it and when its fixed and no one will bat an eye
— Bedarija (@BedarijaZiga) February 21, 2019
Update 5
EA says they are working to fix the issue:
Having trouble connecting to #ApexLegends on PC? We’re working on it and will update here when it’s resolved.
— EA Help (@EAHelp) February 21, 2019
Meanwhile, try out this workaround:
i tweeted this and then i googled the issue. apparently if you click the game in origin after closing the game and click repair it should work?
— Patrick (@paffycake) February 21, 2019
Or try flushing your DNS (as suggested here). Or you can run the following command (after right clicking on the windows startup icon and selecting ‘Windows Powershell (admin)’:
ipconfig /flushdns
Update 6
The Twitter handle of Apex Legends has retweeted EA’s tweet.
Having trouble connecting to #ApexLegends on PC? We’re working on it and will update here when it’s resolved.
— EA Help (@EAHelp) February 21, 2019
Update 7
If you are still facing the issue, you might want to keep trying until you succeed.
They’re not down, it takes 20 attempts till it eventually logs in. It’s supposedly an issue when you link your steam account, but since you can’t unlink it…
— Lars vR (@roam3D) February 21, 2019
Else, try the workaround mentioned in the following video (it has worked for many users so far):
Thanks Luke Yanno for the tip ….

— Citizen (@basedcitizen) February 21, 2019
Wow, all of #Salesforce seems to be down, in my region anyway. Even the Trust site doesn’t load.
— Anarcho-Bitchicalist (@Bitchicalist) February 21, 2019
It doesn’t seem to be a worldwide outage though.
For its part, Salesforce has shared that there’s definitely an outage for a subset of its customers, and reason for it is an Internet backbone transit issue.
