The SSL Connection error interferes with the game’s connection to the servers. This prevents players from starting the game and the connection error means they can not play multiplayer. Here are a few fixes for the Apex Legends SSL error on PS4.

Restart Router

The first step is to check your Internet connection. Sometimes, when the router has been turned on for a very long time, then you will have memory problems in the router. This can result in laggy gameplay and slow processing. You should restart the router for the game to function properly. 

Restart the game

The next step is to restart the game, which will also free up memory and also reset the temporary cache at times. Doing this ensures the game can also auto-download any pending updates which might fix the issue. 

Accept Terms and Conditions

  5. Click on Profile in the top right and click on Account Settings
  6. Click on the Connections Tab
  7. Make sure your accounts are linked. (there should be a green checkmark next to the platform)

What causes the Apex Legends SSL error?

Server Outage

The server outage is one of the most common reasons for the SSL connection error in Apex Legends. The server outrage can result in lack of connection between the device and the system, which in turn ensures that the system cannot function properly.

Unlinked Accounts

Sometimes, due to various reasons, the PSN account might be unlinked from the Apex Legends (EA) account. If this happens, there is no way for the game to communicate with the servers and this might cause problems. While there is no fixed reason why the unlinking happens, it ends up causing several connection errors. 

Accept TnCs

Sometimes, if you fail to accept the Terms and Conditions and still start the game, it might end up in a SSL Connection Error on PS4. You can only play the game if you have accepted the Terms and Conditions.
