This should enable you to determine whether the issue is on your end or Apex Legends’. Visit Apex Legends’ Help Center to check the game’s status; there, they provide regular updates on the game’s servers. If there is a problem with the servers, move on to the following suggestion to get around the problem. ### Try Logging In Several Times The matchmaking list error on Apex Legends, unlike other server-related problems, can be resolved by perseverance. By repeatedly attempting to log in to the game, the majority of users were able to get around the matchmaking error. Keep signing into your Apex Legends account if you have the time until you are able to play the game. Before moving on to the next solution, we advise trying this out 10-15 times since it doesn’t always work. ### Verify Integrity of Game Files If a game is not functioning properly on your system, Steam has an integrated feature that enables you to search for missing or corrupt game files. If the matchmaking list error keeps appearing in Apex Legends, check your game files to see if that solves the issue. First, go to the Steam Library and right-click on Apex Legends. Then, select Properties and go to the Local Files tab. Finally, click on Verify Integrity of Game Files and follow the instructions that appear. Once completed, restart Apex Legends and check to see if the matchmaking list error still occurs on the game. ### Check Your Internet Connection Even though matchmaking list errors on Apex Legends are uncommonly brought on by network problems, they are still possible, especially if the game is having trouble connecting to the servers. Run a test using Fast.com to determine the current network speed to verify this. Restart your modem to reestablish contact with the servers of your service provider if there is a problem with your network. Reconnect your router after unplugging it from the outlet and waiting a short while. Once finished, perform another test to ensure that the issue has been resolved. If your network is still sluggish, contact your ISP and ask them to improve their service. ### Reinstall the Game If you still experience the matchmaking list error in Apex Legends, your final option is to reinstall the game on Steam. You should now have the most recent version of the [steam game](https://compsmag.com/best/steam-games/) and any damaged or corrupted files on your [computer](https://compsmag.com/best/computers/) should be fixed. First, open the Steam Library. Next, right-click Apex Legends and hover over the Manage tab. Finally, click “Uninstall” to remove Apex Legends. Then go to the Steam Store and reinstall Apex Legends from there. ## About **Platforms:** Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, MORE **Release date:** 4 February 2019 **Developers:** Respawn Entertainment, Panic Button Games **Series:** Titanfall ## System requirements **Processor**: Intel Core i3 6300 / AMD FX 4350 or Equivalent **[Graphics card](https://compsmag.com/best/graphics-cards/):** NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 / AMD Radeon HD 7730 **OS**: 64-bit Windows 7 and above **Storage**: 56 GB of available space **Memory**: 6 GB RAM **DirectX**: Version 11 **Network**: Broadband Internet connection **Additional Notes**: Spare required for 1 localized language (~3.8GB) ## About the History Electronic Arts published Apex Legends, a free-to-play battle royale-hero shooter developed by Respawn Entertainment.

Up to 20 three-person squads or 30 two-person pairs can land on an island in “Battle Royale,” search the area for supplies and weapons, and then start fighting one another. The amount of play space on the island gradually shrinks, forcing players to stay active or run the risk of being killed if they venture outside it. The final team standing wins the round.
