Lately, a lot of bugs and glitches have been popping out in Apex Legends. And players are having a hard time due to these errors or bugs. One of those errors that is giving players the hardest of times is the ‘Out of sync with server’ error. This is a recent bug and has not been fixed by Respawn yet.
What the ‘Out of sync with server’ error does is it kicks you out of ongoing games or when you are trying to matchmake. When matchmaking with a squad, a lot of times you would get kicked out before even the game starts and your friends will get into that same game normally. This causes your team to obviously quit that round and come back to the lobby so that then can try fresh matchmaking.
This bug is indeed annoying and it is making players rage quit quite a lot. Fortunately, there is a way to actually fix this error and it seems to be working for a lot of players. Here is how to fix ‘Out of sync with server’ error in Apex Legends :
How To Fix ‘Out Of Sync With Server’ Error In Apex Legends
A guide has been created by a community member with the name Depravos. You can find the original guide here. His guide states the following steps.
How To Fix ‘Out Of Sync With Server’ Error In Apex Legends Step #1
Log-in to your router (either at 192.168.0.1 if your modem is your router, or at 192.168.1.1 if you use a dedicated router separate from your modem)
How To Fix ‘Out Of Sync With Server’ Error In Apex Legends Step #2
Find the list of connected devices, identify which device is the one you want to play Apex Legends on, and take note of the MAC address and network address assigned to this device. You can also find this information in command prompt with the command: ‘ipconfig /all’ if you’re doing these steps on the PC you’ll be using to play.
How To Fix ‘Out Of Sync With Server’ Error In Apex Legends Step #3
Disable NAT boost on your router
How To Fix ‘Out Of Sync With Server’ Error In Apex Legends Step #4
Go to IP & MAC Binding, bind your gaming device’s MAC address to the network address that you discovered in step 2.
How To Fix ‘Out Of Sync With Server’ Error In Apex Legends Step #5
Go to speedtest.net, run a test to determine your network’s download and upload rates. It is important to do this step when no-one else is using the network for any other purposes (if possible).
How To Fix ‘Out Of Sync With Server’ Error In Apex Legends Step #6
Find Bandwidth Control Settings. Enable bandwidth control. Set your network egress to the upload rate from step 5, and your network ingress to the download rate from step 5. Speedtest.net reports your rates in Mbps, many/most routers will ask for ingress/egress in kbps. Simply multiply your Mbps by 1024 to get your rates in kbps. (**the numbers in the steps 7 and 8 aren’t exact, but it’s what I’ve found works for me. You can probably play around here to be less strict on the rules for all the devices in your network).
How To Fix ‘Out Of Sync With Server’ Error In Apex Legends Step #7
Create a rule for the min/max ingress/egress for the device you are playing Apex Legends on. I’ve set egress min/max to 2048/5120 (the min number can probably be a lot smaller since it’s the ingress that’s causing the out of sync errors. Ingress min/max is set to 15360/30720. Min ingress will need to be at least 2048 to be safe since at times the game’s rate can exceed 1.1Mbps, but I’m just being greedy.
How To Fix ‘Out Of Sync With Server’ Error In Apex Legends Step #8
Create a rule for the min/max ingress/egress for the rest of the network (make sure your range does not include the specific address you’re using for your machine, you may need to create 2 separate ranges to accomplish this). The min for ingress/egress can be set to 0. The max for ingress/egress should be x-y, where x are the rates set in step 6, and y are the min values set in step 7.
How To Fix ‘Out Of Sync With Server’ Error In Apex Legends Step #9
Reboot your router
