What is this error?

Error 10016 in Apex Legends typically indicates an issue with your network connection, often caused by problems with network ports or settings that prevent the game from properly establishing a connection to the servers. This error may occur due to improper configurations in the router, firewall settings, or insufficient permissions on your device.

How to Fix It

  1. Check Your Internet Connection: Ensure you have a stable and high-speed internet connection. Restart your modem and router to refresh the connection.
  2. Open Network Ports: Open the necessary ports for Apex Legends. You will need to follow the instructions provided by your ISP to access and configure the port settings on your router. The specific ports to open include:
    • UDP: 24500
    • UDP: 5070
    • UDP: 17500
    • TCP: 443
  3. Disable Firewall/Antivirus: Temporarily disable your firewall and antivirus software to see if it's blocking the game. If the error resolves, create exceptions for Apex Legends in your security software.
  4. Run as Administrator: Right-click the Apex Legends shortcut and select 'Run as administrator'. This can help if the issue is related to permissions on your device.
  5. Reset Network Settings: Consider resetting your network settings if the problem persists. This can usually be done through the settings menu of your operating system.
  6. Reinstall Apex Legends: As a last resort, uninstall and then reinstall Apex Legends to ensure that all game files are intact and correctly configured.
