Apex Legends Stuck at Complete Orientation Matches: How to fix it?
Well, many players are discussing the issue and sharing potential workarounds on various online forums. Here are some of the most effective ones:
Restart
A potential workaround involves restarting the game. Some players have reported success in resolving the problem by restarting the game. While simply reloading the main menu may not produce results, a full restart of the game has proven effective for some, allowing them to proceed past the obstacle and enjoy uninterrupted gameplay.
Switch Data Centers and Check Server Status
Instead of clicking “Continue” upon opening the game, click on “Data Center” in the bottom-left of the launch screen. Choose the new data center that is closest to your current location.

Internet and VPN

So make sure that you have a stable and reliable internet connection by testing your network speed and restarting your router or modem. Try using a LAN cable or switching up your internet connection altogether. Other than that, if you using a VPN service, try disabling it before starting the game.
Training/Range and Party
Another workaround involves a specific sequence of actions. Start by attempting the training mode or hitting the range (if not already done) in-game, then close the game. Following this, join a party and subsequently leave the party. Players have reported that this series of steps resulted in them successfully bypassing the orientation match hurdle.
For Xbox Players
For Xbox players, a potential workaround is to navigate to “Manage game” and delete the “Reserved Space”. After this, sign back into Apex Legends. Well, some users have reported that this action resolved the problem for them.
Reset Game Settings
Another player suggested that resetting the game settings to default fixes the issue for good. So, you can try doing so and then check if the issue persists.
Update GPU drivers and the EA App
Some players found success by updating their GPU drivers. So, if you too haven’t checked your GPU drivers for updates, now is the time to do so. Head over to the official website of your graphics card’s manufacturer (Nvidia or AMD) and see if there are any updates available for the card you use. After that, check if the EA App has an update pending. After updating both your drivers and the EA App, launch the game and see if the issues persist.
With those workarounds, we hope that you were able to fix the issue and play any mode you want without any restrictions. Anyway, that is all for this guide.
