Been trying to reinstalling apex but it still goes the same. Can someone help me to fix this? Big thanks.

Engine Error.

  • Boy's I've got a fix for myself. I hope it works for you.

    GO TO:

    c:\users\[YOUR USER ID]\savedg~1\respawn\apex\local\

    FIND THE FILE "settings.cfg"

    Change settings.cfg's name to example.cfg.old

    this forces the game to recreate the correct file.


    Attempt a restart. You may get another error message referencing your profile

    If you recieve this profile error, do the same thing in the profile folder:

    GO TO:

    C:\Users\[YOUR USER ID]\Saved Games\Respawn\Apex\profile


    rename the text document titled "profile" to profile.old

    Attempt to run again. This worked for me, and I hope it works for you too. (IF I FORMATTED THIS BAD FOR EA FORUMS JUST READ THE PROVIDED NOTEPAD)
