Apex Legends crashes on launch - EAC 0x00002009 / C0000005

Hi, Apex Legends keeps crashing on launch after “Waiting for game”. I repaired the game files and Easy Anti-Cheat, but it still crashes. I also got “Game Security Violation Detected - 0x00002009” and the crash handler shows C0000005. I tried disabling SignalRGB, Mullvad VPN and MSI/Mystic Light services, but nothing changed. Any idea what could be causing this?

    I understand that 0x00002009 can be caused by software detected by Easy Anti-Cheat. However, I don't use DS4Windows or any similar controller/macro software. I already disabled SignalRGB, Mullvad VPN and MSI/Mystic Light services, but Apex still crashes with C0000005. How can I identify which program is being detected by EAC?

  • mdt91130​ This error typically happens when a program that gives an unfair gameplay advantage is detected when launching or playing Apex.

    You would need to close out of or uninstall any program that may give/does give an unfair gameplay advantage in order to continue playing the game, (which includes programs such as DS4 Windows).
