Apex Legends Leveling Bug Unlikely To Be Fixed This Week

gamespot.com:

Apex Legends' recently revamped leveling system has a lot of players excited, as the long-awaited change allows players to finally progress beyond the game's initial 500-level cap, collecting more rewards and greatly increasing their odds of receiving Heirloom Shards when opening Apex Packs. Unfortunately, over a week after the launch of Season 14, the new feature still isn't functioning properly, and although a fix is on the horizon, the game's developers say it's unlikely to be released this week.

Quick update for you, legends: We're still working on this one but were able to identify the cause and are aiming to roll out a fix next week. We'll keep you updated when we have an exact day for the patch and thanks again for being patient with us here.

As is common with Apex's large seasonal updates, the Hunted patch introduced a few new bugs to the game.

Respawn first acknowledged the bug on August 10, the day after Season 14's launch. But over a week later, the issue still persists. The good news is the game's developers believe they have identified the cause and are aiming to push out a patch to resolve the bug. The bad news? There's no ETA on when this patch will arrive, though Respawn has stated it hopes to release it sometime next week.
