UPDATE: As we work to transition all PC players from Easy Anticheat to EA Javelin Anticheat, if you are encountering issues matchmaking into a round (including "Party Not Ready" error messages), we recommend switching your launcher to Steam for a smoother game experience. REMINDER: EA Javelin Anticheat is now live in Apex Legends on PC! Please update your game before hopping into your next match. We are aware of errors for some players as they transition between systems.
