Apex Legends not starting properly

Hi, I’m having a persistent issue with Apex Legends where Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) won’t start properly. The game either crashes on launch or doesn’t open at all. Earlier I also got errors like “corrupted files” and “failed to decode oodle pak file”.

I’ve already tried a full clean reinstall of the game multiple times, verified files via Steam, manually deleted all Apex folders, repaired/reinstalled EAC, restarted my PC several times, and even reset Windows completely. I also installed all drivers (chipset, LAN, WiFi, Bluetooth, audio, GPU), disabled memory integrity, checked services, and made sure there are no configs or launch options.

Despite all this, EAC still won’t start and the game doesn’t work. Is there anything else I can try or is this a known issue?
