Problems in EA servers.
We’re looking into issues with our websites, games, and services. We’ll be back with updates as we have them.

This is the solution to the Apex Legends error code 100. Respawn’s Apex Legends servers host a large number of players daily. As you would expect from that kind of stress, the servers are also occasionally interrupted, as was the case last week and again in March.
Code 100 is a server outage error. This is why you may get the message “Unable to complete EA account login” and also why you cannot access any of EA’s online games at that time.

The easiest way to fix the problem is to wait until the servers are back online and you can log in to your account again.
However, if you know for sure that the Origin servers are active and that there is a problem on your end, there is a solution you can try that might solve the problem. It involves changing the Domain Name System (DNS) settings on your system.
Change your DNS on PS4, Xbox One or PC
DNS is essentially the way a device converts URLs to its IPS addresses, and the default value in your system is the DNS used by your service provider.
There is a primary DNS, which handles the frame and processing, along with a secondary DNS that acts as a backup in case the first one fails and also handles data recovery. You have to change both when you alter the DNS in your system.
If you’re changing your DNS settings, the generally recommended alternative to your provider’s default DNS is Google DNS.
Primary Google DNS: 8.8.8.8
Secondary Google DNS: 8.8.4.4
Here’s how to change your DNS for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
Needless to say, you will want to note the default address of your IP , in case you want or need to revert the DNS to its original address later because there is no “default” option.
Changing the PS4 DNS
Changing the PlayStation 4 DNS requires some specific steps.
First, go to your network settings. To do that,
Navigate to Settings
Choose “Network”
Choose “Set up Internet connection”
Choose the type of connection you will use (the steps to change the DNS are the same for each)
Select “custom”
After that, you will adjust the settings as follows.
Set the IP address to “Automatic”
Enter “Do not specify” for the DCHP host name
Set the DNS settings to “Manual
Enter the primary DNS (8.8.8.8)
Enter the secondary DNS (8.8.4.4)
Set “Automatic” for MTU configuration
Under Proxy Server, select “Do not use”
Save the settings and return to the home screen. If you have run the game application during this process, you must close it and restart it.
Changing DNS on Xbox One
Changing the Xbox One DNS is a little easier and involves fewer steps.
Go to settings”
Choose “Network”
Select “Advanced Settings”.
Choose “DNS Settings”
Then, simply enter the primary DNS (8.8.8.8) followed by the secondary DNS (8.8.4.4). Save the configuration and, as with PS4, close the application if you had it running.

Changing the PC’s DNS
Changing your PC’s DNS is far more complicated, requiring more steps.
Press the Windows key and R to open the command box
Type ncpa.cpl, which will open the “Network Connections” Control Panel menu
Locate your internet connection, and right click
Choose “Properties”. A box will open with a list shown in “This connection uses the following items”.
Find the Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP / IPv4) and click on it.
The “Properties” button at the bottom right will become available. Click it.
Select “Use the following DNS server addresses” and enter the DNS addresses
Preferred DNS server: 8.8.8.8
Alternative DNS server: 8.8.4.4
Choose “ok”
Reboot your PC
