Anti-cheat error 13 preventing me from launching Apex Legends.

I have been trying to launch Apex Legends, but each time I try to do that, I get an error. The error occurres when the anti-cheat loads. The error code is 13, but it may change. Attached the screenshot of the error.

A similar error occurred around a month ago. However, the error was with a different code. When I click on the page to see potential fixes, I do follow the steps, but the error persists. Back then, the error appeared after I updated the game, before that it had no issues. I do not remember the update version or anything more specific.

I remember that I checked my hardware with prime95 as suggested, and had no errors whatsoever. That forced my to completely reinstall the game and origin. After the re-installation the game was running normally till today! There was a new update going on and I did update the game and after that the error appeared.

I tried repairing Anti-Cheat by going to: /This PC/Drive (G🙂/Apex Legends/Apex/EasyAntiCheat/EasyAntiCheat_Setup - Select game -> Apex Legends -> Repair. I then removed the r5apex exe file and repaired the game itself through the client. This did not fix the error and the issue persists.

I tried connecting to support, but as they did not understand my issue they were completely unhelpful and here I am, not able to play the game even though I spent thounds of euro on it.

I would like also to clarify that I am not willing to re-install the game and client each time there is an update! I need this to be thoroughly checked and then fixed!
