Apex Legends anti cheat error. is reWASD the cause?

Question

I recently downloaded Apex Legends again after not playing for a while. During a match, I got the error message: "The client failed an anti-cheat backend check."I have reWASD installed on my PC, which I use to edit controller inputs. I have had issues with other games in the past because of it, but I thought those were resolved, so I installed it again.I do not have reWASD open when launching Apex, so I thought it would not matter. I am starting to wonder if it is still causing problems because of its drivers. I do not want to uninstall reWASD because it is very useful for me.Here is what I have already tried:Disabled the vJoy driverWhitelisted the game folder in antivirusHas anyone run into this before? Is reWASD definitely the reason for this, or could it be something else? Is there a way to temporarily disable it fully without uninstalling just for Apex Legends?

Yep, at least from what i've read reWASD is a huge problem for EAC and it should be removed completely with all leftover files. All forums dedicated to this problem have messages as "Thank you,as soon i deleted reWASD this problem's gone"

illdaddy​&nbsp;I don't know much about how reWASD works, but I do know that the game won't run with reWASD running on the system.

yousef14753​ It can be caused by another program.You would need to check what programs your system is running and remove any that might be conflicting with the game.
