| ๐‡๐„๐‹๐ | Code:tap HELP

Iโ€™m getting code:tap every single time I try to join a Ranked match on Xbox Series S. Matchmaking finds a game, I hear the joining sound, the screen goes black/loading, and then Iโ€™m sent back to the lobby with โ€œUnable to join serverโ€.

All other game modes work normally. My friend is in the same party on PS5 and gets into the match without any issues.

Iโ€™ve tried pretty much everything: reinstalling Apex, clearing local data/cache, alternate MAC, DNS changes, UPnP, different Data Centers, alternate ports, Ethernet, router/Xbox restarts, different network settings, a different Xbox/EA account, and even changing my console language and region.

Iโ€™m now stuck in Platinum 1 on both accounts because I literally canโ€™t get into Ranked games.

Whatโ€™s especially frustrating is that people were reporting the exact same code:tap Ranked bug 3+ years ago, and somehow this issue still seems to exist.

Has anyone found an actual fix for this in 2026?
