Apex Legends "Error Reading Pak File: Short Read"

Hello. I have just recently switched from using Origin to using steam for Apex Legends. I was sad to find out that the game crashes and I receive the error message below. The game ran perfectly fine...

I tried re-switching to Origin and it was running all the way until I attempted to link my steam profile then I constantly started getting the same error message.

Hey, @Electr0101 @PaubloEscobaro make sure that all drivers for windows are up to date, also worth to reinstall the GPU drivers for your PC.

You can also try to do a clean boot to see if there any programs messing with APEX and turn off any overlay programs for example Discord or Nvidia experience.

Can you add a Dxdiag so we can see what hardware and drivers you have?

Let me know if this works or not for you. 🙂

  Heres my Dxdiag Info. Hope this helps. I've factory reset my pc and make sure that I had all my drivers updated before and after the issue and so far no fix yet.
