What is this error?
Error 10037 in Apex Legends is a connection error that typically indicates a problem with your network, preventing you from connecting to the game's servers. This error can arise from various issues, including firewall settings, network congestion, or misconfigured router settings.
How to Fix It
- Check Server Status: Visit official Apex Legends social media channels or the EA website to confirm if there are server outages or maintenance affecting connectivity.
- Restart Your Router: Power cycle your router by unplugging it from the power source, waiting for about 30 seconds, and then plugging it back in. This can refresh your network connection.
- Check Firewall and Antivirus Settings: Ensure that your firewall or antivirus software is not blocking Apex Legends. Add the game to the exceptions list or temporarily disable the software to test the connection.
- Use a Wired Connection: If you’re using Wi-Fi, try connecting your gaming device directly to the router with an Ethernet cable. Wired connections tend to be more stable.
- Change DNS Settings: Adjust your DNS settings to use a public DNS server like Google (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). This can sometimes improve connectivity.
- Port Forwarding: Configure your router to forward the necessary ports for Apex Legends (UDP: 24500, 24501, 24502). Refer to your router's manual for port forwarding instructions.
- Reinstall Apex Legends: If none of the above steps work, uninstall and then reinstall the game. This can fix corrupted files that may be causing connectivity issues.
