Hey @DirtyRogg 

I have a feeling the anti-cheat is at fault here, let's get troubleshooting.

Troubleshooting EasyAntiCheat.

Open your File explorer and locate to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Apex
And delete the following files:

  • EasyAntiCheat
  • EasyAntiCheat_launcher.exe
  • EasyAntiCheat_x64.dll

Then locate to:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Apex\__Installer\customcomponent 

And delete the following files:

  • EasyAntiCheat

Then restart Origin, go to Game Library, click on Apex Legends.
Then go to settings -> Game Properties and repair the game.

Let me know if this worked for you!

    I had to switch to the EA desktop for some reason so I no longer have origin. Also, whenever I download the game, it does not save to the program files (86x), it just saves to a regular program files. Could this be an issue or does it not matter. 

    Additionally, I tried these steps by going through my game/app location and it did not work.
