Apex Legends is a battle royale game published by Electronic Arts and has a huge player base globally. Now, while maintaining these huge servers, encountering errors is a common thing, and similarly, players are facing an issue which is known as Error Code 100.

This error code usually occurs when the game can’t connect to EA services, and this can happen due to various reasons. It can get quite frustrating for players and thus, we have a few troubleshooting methods which you can use to solve the problem.
 

Check EA server status

In order to check the EA server status,

  • Check here if the Apex Legends servers are down for any services.
  • Check if there is any information regarding the server maintenance, or wait for the official announcement.

If the servers are working fine, then there might be issues with your internet connectivity. You can try to restart your internet modem and check again if still the issue continues then go through the steps mentioned below.
