Hey @Biskweet 

Might deleting and reinstalling EAC is worth a shot.

Open your file browser and click your location bar.
Now type the following loctions in and delete the files mentioned:

  • C:\Program Files (x86) and delete - EasyAntiCheat
  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Apex and delete - EasyAntiCheat - EasyAntiCheat_launcher.exe - EasyAntiCheat_x64.dll
  • C:\Users\(User)\AppData\Roaming and delete - EasyAntiCheat
  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Apex\__Installer\customcomponent - EasyAntiCheat

Now restart your system, open Origin and Repair Apex Legends
(please note you have to repair all game that use Easy Anti cheat.)

Let me know if this worked

Hi! Thanks for answering. I'll try it as soon I'm home, but I don't believe it will work. The problem is the GdiPlus.dll file located in my Windows directory which should not be there (or which is corrupted). I'll try it though, stay tuned.
