Apex Legends update 1.1 which reset players’ account has been fixed

Highlights

• Apex Legends update 1.1 went live 10 a.m. PT (10:30 PM IST).
• The update reset players accounts causing them to lose all progress.
• The error caused due to the update has been fixed.

 

Apex legends update 1.1 went live and players that logged in to play the game were greeted with accounts where all their progress was lost. Thankfully, the curse is undone and player progress is back where it belongs. Apparently, when the 1.1 updates went live, player progress data was moved to the wrong servers. The fix was quite easy and all players data is back. 

Respawn, the developers behind the Battle Royale game have said on a Reddit post, “Everything you've accomplished and bought in Apex up until the 1.1 Patch that went live at 10:00 PST today should be restored. Any in-game purchases and progress acquired during the time between 1.1 going live and the fix will be reverted – levels earned, items unlocked, packs opened, and spent currency. If you continued to play and didn't patch then this will not affect you. Any currency purchased, spent or not, will be carried back over to their original account state. i.e. – if you bought $20 worth of coins, and spent $18, then you’ll get $20 after the fix”.

Now that you've breathed a sigh of relief, here is a look at the details of the fixes and new features the update brings
