What is this error?
Error 10043 in Apex Legends typically indicates a connection issue, often related to incorrect network configurations or firewall settings. This error can prevent players from connecting to the game’s servers, resulting in gameplay disruption.
How to Fix It
To resolve Error 10043, follow the steps below to troubleshoot your connection and ensure proper access to Apex Legends servers.
- Restart Your Router: Turn off your router and modem, wait for about 10 seconds, and then turn them back on. This will refresh your internet connection.
- Check Your Internet Connection: Ensure that your internet is stable by testing it on other devices. If possible, use a wired connection for improved stability.
- Disable VPN or Proxy: If you are using a VPN or proxy service, disable it. These services can interfere with your connection to Apex Legends servers.
- Adjust Firewall Settings: Access your firewall settings and ensure that Apex Legends is allowed through. You may need to add exceptions for the game's executable file.
- Update Network Drivers: Check for any updates for your network drivers. Outdated drivers can lead to connection problems. Visit the manufacturer's website for the latest versions.
- Flush DNS Cache: Open the Command Prompt as an administrator and type `ipconfig /flushdns`. Press Enter to clear the DNS cache, which can resolve connectivity issues.
- Port Forwarding: If you are familiar with your router settings, consider port forwarding for Apex Legends. Use the following ports: TCP 8080, 443, UTP 3478, 3479.
- Contact Support: If the problem persists after trying the above steps, consider reaching out to EA Support for personalized assistance.
