Well, after the season 2 update, Apex Legends players faced two code errors : code:net & code:leaf and were not been able to play the properly. Apex Legends Community Manager, EA_David has defined the Code: leaf error and Code: net error in the following manner.

CODE: LEAF/NET

● code: leaf – the server never answered us when we asked it if we could connect
● code: net – we were on a server, and it disappeared on us and stopped answering

Well, on August 30, Apex Legends developer, Garza confirmed that Code:net issue is resolved. But from the last few days, Code:net error is again haunting Apex Legends players and they have not been able to play the game properly. Have a look at a few complaints from users.

According to player reports, code:net error is crashing the game constantly & many players are not been able to connect & facing server issues. Many threads related to this issue have currently flooded the Apex Legends official forum on the Reddit.
