What causes the ‘Problem Processing Game Logic’ error in Apex Legends?

The ‘Problem Processing Game Logic’ error shows up when the EA servers can’t check your account. It’s usually an issue on their end, not yours. This is why many players might see it all at once.

Still, there are things you can do to fix it quite quickly.

How to fix ‘Problem Processing Game Logic’ in Apex Legends

Re-verify your account by restarting your client or router

The best thing you can do to fix this issue is to re-verify your account by restarting your client or router. It’s a process of elimination here, so you can try each of the following steps to see if any of them work for you:

  • Close down the client and re-open it
  • Log out of your account and log back in
  • Restart your PC or console
  • Restart your router

Alternative solutions

If these steps don’t help, try these:

  • Update your client if it’s out of date
  • Re-install the game

For console players, you can also try deleting the saved data linked to the client.

  • On PlayStation: Go to Settings > Application Saved Data Management > System Storage > Apex Legends
  • On Xbox: Go to Home > My Games and Apps > Apex Legends > Manage Game Data and Addons > Saved Data

If all else fails, that means it’s a server-side issue and there’s nothing you can do. Instead, you’ll have to wait for EA and Respawn to sort out the Apex issue themselves.
