Update May 9 at 1:45pm CT: Respawn has issued a fix for servers across all platforms, allowing players to access the Firing Range as well as other game modes.
The next major update arrived in Apex Legends today for season 17. But as players flocked to the servers en masse, they quickly ran head first into a couple of roadblocks that prevented them from playing the game.
When attempting to load into the new-and-improved Firing Range, players were met with an error code, while others saw their game crash completely. “There was a problem processing game logic. Please try again,” the error dialogue reads. The issue seemed to be affecting multiple platforms, according to player reports.
Luckily for fans, though, Respawn Entertainment already has a fix in the works, and the developer expects the issues to be fixed soon after the patch hit the live servers, according to a May 9 tweet.
“An issue is currently limiting [Apex] players to the Firing Range as soon as they update their games for Arsenal,” Respawn wrote. “We expect a fix within the hour.”
When season 17 is (actually) playable, players will gain access to the new Firing Range, Assault legend Ballistic, a revamped World’s Edge, weapon mastery, and a fresh ranked system. Players can read about all the changes that have arrived in the battle royale with the season’s patch notes.
In the meantime, keep an eye on Apex and Respawn’s social media pages for more updates on the incoming fix.
