APEX LEGENDS quits immediately after launch (no logs, etc.)

Hey 02ash10​,

Are you using any overlays in other programs like Discord, Overwolf, Xbox Game Bar, NVIDIA App, etc.? Disabling these may help in some situations if the game is crashing without an error. 

Please also check to make sure your graphics card drivers are up to date.

I would also try running both the EA app and Apex Legends itself as an administrator. Have you tried launching through Steam as well, or just EA app?

You can also try a clean boot of your system to make sure there are no other programs or processes that might interfere with the game launching. If you're still having trouble after that point, can you grab a dxdiag so we can see what else may be causing this to happen on your system?

It didn't work even with the overlay software turned off. I tried both steam and ea. I also tried a clean boot of the system, but the game still closes immediately.

After trying various things, I started getting error code 0x8000002 when starting APEX. I tried turning off overlays and deleting keyboard and mouse software but it didn't help.

I heard that some people were able to fix the problem by installing DAEMON TOOL LITE and reinstalling it, so I tried that, and APEX went back to crashing without the initial error code appearing.

Hey 02ash10​,

The error 0x8000002 showing up briefly does give a bit more information as to what may be causing this! That's letting you know there is some software/program on your system that cannot be run at the same time as Apex. In many cases that was Daemon Tools Lite as you found, though this could be any similar program.

If you had installed Daemon Tools Lite to test this, be sure you had removed the drivers as well when uninstalling as that can still prevent the game from launching even if you've uninstalled the program itself - see this thread for more details: My solution to the Badware issue | EA Forums - 12048393 

I have confirmed that the daemon tool lite folder is not left. The game still closes automatically.I've only had the error 0x8000005 once.However, I am currently experiencing the same problem as in the clip. I will list the specs of my PC. An i7-13700f and an RTX3070 should be sufficient, and most other games start normally.

The EasyAntiCheat_EOS startup status was manual and the service status was stopped, so when I started it once, error 87 occurred: The Easy Anti-Cheat (Epic Online Devices) service on local computer cannot be started.

Also, even if I launch easy anti cheat.exe from program file (x86) on the C drive, Apex does not appear in the game selection item.

EA has abandoned me. I'm tired.
