Apex legends wont launch?

didint work

If you have an intel 2 quad processor you can try every single fix on the internet right now, it won’t work. The only thing to do if you get the POPCNT error message is just wait for EA to remove it or buy another processor. 

I was seeing and POPCNT is just to prevent pirate games, which is stupid considering that Apex is a free game... Now we’re going to see if EA really cares about their customers.

Found something that worked for me!

I tried 7 of these solutions, retrying between each one, and none of them worked. Then I tried the solution suggested by HeKeRiax and it worked! 

HeKeRiax solution: Don't uninstall Origin, just go to the website and download the OriginThinSetup.exe and reinstall over top of your existing install.

https://www.origin.com/can/en-us/store/download

FYI I'm running Windows 7 x64 on a Core i7-4790k

Other solutions I tried, in case one or two of them are necessary for you:

"Language Change" workaround for Apex Legends

Repair Install of Apex Legends

Update graphics drivers to latest version

Update Origin to latest version

Clear Origin Cache

Check that you have the latest version of Microsoft Visual C++ Redist Versions 2010, 2012, 2013, 2017 (BOTH x86 and x64 versions of each year)

Disable Windows Defender / Microsoft Security Essentials / Antivirus Scanner and try to launch (then re-enable!)

Good luck!

This worked for me. Thanks bro.

In addition to the troubleshooting steps posted on this thread (thanks everyone), you should first check your machine meets the Minimum System Requirements

If you are sure your machine does meet the minspec, you should take a look at the following link as there are a lot of collected steps there that have been reported as helping prevent crashes:

Thanks again to all who have posted steps that have helped.

I tried to help my brother fixing the game not launching. He tried yesterday to fix it, but to no avail. And and a friend of his tried many fixed, none of them worked.

Then I found a comment in this thread that blessed our souls.

Change the language to Polish. It * worked.

Yes, it did work for me too lol language to polish

your solution works!! the one you reinstall origin in windows 7 without errasing the old one!!! thanks!!!!!! the other things doesnt work xD

I found a fix for this (I asked EA support) 10 steps. 

1. Please click on the Origin menu on the top left of Origin window and select Exit option.

2. Please hold down the Windows Key and press R. (This will open the Run dialogue.)

3. Type %ProgramData% and press enter to open ProgramData folder.

4. Delete Origin folder from this ProgramData folder.

5. Type %AppData% and press enter to open Appdata folder.

6. Delete Origin folder from the Roaming and Local folders.

7. Run CCleaner : http://help.ea.com/en/article/how-to-use-ccleaner-to-fix-pc-issues/

8. Restart your router/modem and do a Clean Boot : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929135

9. Make sure that your UAC is enabled and set to notify (if you get option)

10. Download the latest version of Origin and install the client.
