Apex Legends anti cheat error. is reWASD the cause?
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 driver
- Whitelisted the game folder in antivirus
Has 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?
