Apex Legends Season 9 launched to an enthusiastic response from players--but because they were so enthusiastic, it also led to some unforeseen issues. Since the season's release this week, players have faced an array of problems with Apex Legends due to overloaded infrastructure, including extreme difficulty getting into matches.

　　Respawn has been sharing its progress on rolling out fixes all day today on Twitter, but it has yet to fully squash the issues plaguing its servers. In its latest tweet, Respawn stated that unlocked characters and marketplace services should be returned to normal soon. In addition, some players have increasingly had success joining matches, but the problems seem to persist for others.
