Apex Legends Out of Sync with server error is seen by users during gameplay or while trying to connect to a party and it puts them back on the launch screen with the error message displayed. In this article, we have compiled some solutions, workarounds, and fixes to help you completely get rid of this issue on your computer.

Before you start implementing these solutions, make sure to read through the triggers due to which this issue arises in the first place to develop a better understanding of this issue. Also, make sure that you have gone through some preliminary troubleshooting steps such as restarting the game and the PC before you move on towards more complex solutions.

What Causes the Apex Legends out of Sync with Server Error?

After going through some basic troubleshooting techniques, we concluded that the following are some of the most important reasons due to which this error occurs in the first place.

• Router Configurations: Sometimes, it is possible that the Router hasn’t been using the correct configurations and is limiting your Bandwidth due to which you are running into this issue. Therefore, we recommend that you try and implement the correct egress and ingress settings in order to allocate proper bandwidth to your device.
• Outdated OS: It is possible that the operating system that you are using is preventing you from being able to play the game and is causing the Apex Legends out of Sync with Server error. Therefore, we recommend that you check for any updates available for your OS and install them on your computer.
• DNS Server: In some cases, the DNS server that you are using might be experiencing an outage due to which the Apex Legends out of Sync with Server issue is being triggered. Changing the DNS server from your computer settings should get you out of the woods if this trigger is causing the issue.
• Wireless Connection: Sometimes there might be certain interference with your Wireless connection due to which you get this issue on your computer. Therefore, we recommend that you try and use a Wired connection instead of a Wireless one and then check to see if doing so fixes the issue.
• Launch Configurations: Certain launch configurations might be used by the Router and the console that you are using and they might prevent the game from being able to sync properly with its servers. Simply performing a Power-Cycle should get rid of these launch configurations by causing them to be regenerated.

Now that you have read through the reasons due to which this error occurs, we can finally move on towards implementing the solutions.

Before you Start:

1. Make sure to reset your Internet Router by unplugging it from power and pressing and holding its power button to get rid of static electricity. Once you have held the button for about 30 seconds, make sure to plug it back in to start it back up and check to see if the Apex Legends out of Sync with Server error has been fixed.
2. Try Switching out your Server to another one, for this, restart the game until it loads initially, and you are met with the “Continue” screen. At the bottom, there should be a “Data Center” option and by pressing that, you can change your server to another location. After doing so, check to see if the issue is resolved.

   

3. It is possible that your GPU is causing this issue and if so, try to go into the Apex Legends Settings and from there, navigate to the “Video” settings and turn off the Texture Streaming budget. Also, if that doesn’t work, try playing in Borderless Window mode and check to see if that fixes this issue.
4. If you have ever changed your devices’ Mac Address, try to change it back to the Factory Mac Address and that should fix this issue.
5. If you are have been using a particular Data Center from the start, make sure to switch back to that one and not use any other one. It can be an issue if the server is trying to sync your profile data between each other and using the one that you have always used might fix this issue.
