Reports began circulating in the early morning regarding issues with EA Games’ login functionality which was later recognized by EA themselves. A significant number of users reported being unable to log in to their accounts. These login problems coincided with errors affecting the launch of the game Jedi Survivor, which is potentially linked to wider network connectivity problems.

Players also complained about the screen getting stuck on Apex Legends’ opening theme/Animation. It looks like EA became too eager to announce the fix but ground reality still differs. Let’s hope we will soon get a chance to hop into the game soon after a real fix for this time.
