apex legends fails to start
no matter what i do this game just wont boot. ive tried clean boot, reinstalling origin, reinstalling the game, repairing eac, reinstalling eac, running it in admin, compat mode, installing it in fr...
i updated my driver last week, but i was having this issue before that so i dont think its a driver thing.
@pyr0kid Hi, you mention your anti-virus, can I check if you've tried disabling it as a test, rather than just a whitelist?
You also mention repairing EAC, did that detect any issues when you did so?
I would try @Math222's suggestion too. In some cases a "bad" driver can persist through updates and a full uninstall and fresh reinstall can fix the issue, I had something similar myself about 10 years ago and I need to perform a full driver wipe and fresh install.
i used ddu so it cant be an old install causing issues, anti virus off didnt change anything either.
Hey @pyr0kid
Can you maybe take a look at your error logs in your PC's control panel and see what critical error are popping up?
Can you try to launch apex via:
Going to your Apex Game files, looking for the EasyAntiCheat_launcher.exe and trying it to launch this way.
If this doesn't launch, check your error logs for any critical error / codes that might link to Apex
running EasyAntiCheat_launcher.exe didnt work, i was unable to find any such error logs in the game folder.
