Re: Apex Legends process not closing whenever exiting game.

@Corvilna didnt unistall game or uninstall anything also process explorer can see r5apex.exe but cant stop it, says " error terminating process access is denied" installed process hacker but thank god didnt have to use it. If problem persists you might use process hacker to stop r5apex.exe

    I tried to kill the proces with cmd, and it didn't help. Reason "brak działania wystąpienia zadania" ("task instance not working")

  • Looks like the anti cheat problem is OLD since this thread is from 2020. EAC makes this kind of problem in other games not only Apex.

  • So I haven’t found a full fix yet. But for the people who close the game and it won’t close. If you go to the EA launcher and click the three lines at the top left and hover over Help then click restart app, it will fix it , and everytime it bugs out just do this instead of turning off your pc , and I believe with the steam version you have to press CTRL then R and it should restart steam, I’ve tried closing in the task manager but all I get is a error when I try to load back up,
