Apex Legends
Version 1.1 of Respawn Entertainment’s Apex Legends has been released, updating the game with a few appreciated quality of life improvements and fixes for a few minor bugs. However, it also included a game-deleting bug that could reset players’ progress.
Respawn was entirely aware of the bug and worked to fix it, shutting down some of their servers earlier this afternoon to perform maintenance. The studio had also advised players not to purchase or craft any tools until this issue was been resolved.
Until the issue has been resolved we recommend players do not buy or craft anything. We’ll continue to provide updates, along with an ETA, as information comes in.

Thankfully, Respawn resolved the issue, explaining through a Reddit post that some players’ information was moved to the wrong server.
All of the changes were marked in Respawn’s patch notes, seen below:
QUALITY OF LIFE
-
Added the ability to party up with the last squad you played with. After the match you will see buttons in the lobby that display the last two people you played with and can invite them to your squad.
When you head back to the lobby after a match you will see two new buttons that show you the players in your last squad with the option to invite them for another match!
You can choose to allow invites or opt out in the Friends menu.

Added Mute button during the intro and Legend selection.
