How to fix Apex Legends “Game version does not match host”

If you’re an avid Apex Legends player, you’ve likely encountered the dreaded “Game version does not match host” error at some point. This error can be frustrating and can prevent you from playing the game. But fear not, we’ve got you covered! In this blog, we’ll walk you through the steps necessary to fix the error, so you can get back to playing your favourite battle royale game.

The first step to take when trying to fix the “Game version does not match host” error is to check the server status. If the servers are down or experiencing technical issues, it could be causing the error message to appear.

To find out if the Apex Legends servers are down, you can check out their official Twitter page. They’ll usually post updates about any server issues they are having and when they’re expected to be resolved.

You can also check out the official Apex Legends website. They have a “Server Status” page which will tell you whether or not the servers are up and running. If the servers are down, you won’t be able to play the game until they’re back online.

If the server status is all good, the next step is to make sure your game version is up-to-date. If the version of the game you’re playing doesn’t match the version of the game the host is playing, you’ll get the “Game version does not match host” error message.

To update your game version, open the Origin client and go to the “My Games” tab. Find Apex Legends in the list and click the “Update” button. This will download and install the latest version of the game.

If you’ve updated your game version and you’re still getting the “Game version does not match host” error, the next step is to verify your game files. This will make sure all the necessary files are in the right place and there aren’t any corrupt or missing files.

To verify your game files, open the Origin client and go to the “My Games” tab. Find Apex Legends in the list and click the “Verify” button. This will scan your game files and make sure everything is in order.

If you’ve verified your game files and you’re still getting the “Game version does not match host” error, the next step is to reinstall the game. This will delete any corrupt or missing game files and install a fresh version of the game.

To reinstall the game, open the Origin client and go to the “My Games” tab. Find Apex Legends in the list and click the “Uninstall” button. Then, when the uninstall process is complete, click the “Install” button to reinstall the game.
