How to Fix Error ce-34878-0 in Apex Legends
PlayStation players have been experiencing some technical issues when their Apex game crashes, specifically seeing the message that states "ce-34878-0." This error is not necessarily because of the game itself, but with the console. The way in which to resolve the error is as follows:
- Turn the PlayStation off completely
- Unplug the power wire from the back of the console and wait for a full minute
- Put the wire back in and hold the power button down for ten seconds
- Plug your controller into the PS4 via a USB cable
- Select ‘Rebuild Database’ from the PS4 safe mode menu
- Wait for the update to complete and you should be back playing games
What these steps have the player do is simply have the PlayStation console rebuild its database since the system believes the player does not own the game and is giving the error message. By putting the PlayStation console in safe mode and rebuilding its database, it can successfully resolve the error listed when trying to start up Apex.
Make sure to follow the following steps as well in order to have the console work smoothly for future gameplay:
- Update Console
- Disable Face Recognition Feature
If the problem still persists, Electronic Arts has offered to help players who have reported the issue, assisting them as much as possible in order to alleviate the error message.
