If you are experiencing error code 100 when playing Apex Legends, a likely culprit for that is a server issue. Just like any game with online multiplayer, server troubles can happen on Apex Legends due to overcapacity, technical glitch, or maintenance.

Local network problems.

Another possible reason why the game may not work online for you is your own home network. Make sure that your internet is up and does not have slow or intermittent connection problems. Any of these things can impact the game and cause it to lose connection to the server as well.

DNS issue.

Domain Name Server or DNS is a server that translates domain names such as TheDroidguy.com into computer-readable values. Your Internet Server Provider often provides the DNS to your connection automatically but sometimes, this server may go down on their end. 

This can sometimes lead to your PC or console being unable to load webpages or connect to game servers. 

Account issues.

In some rare cases, the cause of the problem is not the connection but rather the account you’re using. Accounts may experience temporary glitches while signed in. at other times, accounts may be suspended or may be temporarily blocked from playing online.
