aspect accepted According to the Respawn Twitter account, those who are still having trouble installing or playing Origin’s Apex Legends Season 14 are advised to try three methods:
- Restart the Origin app
- Reinstall Origin
- Clear your Origin cache
Method 1: Restart the Origin app
To reset the Origin app:
- Stop your installation
- Click on Origin in the upper left corner of the launcher
- Click “Exit”
- Open Origin
Method #2: Reinstall Origin
Origin players stuck on “verifying game files” after update – try uninstalling and reinstalling Origin.
Don’t worry, this won’t remove Apex either 👍
