    EasyAntiCheat is currently not working in Windows 11.  Tried it with many different games.  Sadly only way to get them working is revert to windows 10, no game reinstall required, we just have to wait for the devs to get to the issue.

    @EA_Atic with Windows 11's official release date now behind us, has there been any update on an expected timeframe regarding EasyAntiCheat support for Windows 11? I would imagine there are now millions of Windows 11 downloads occurring every day. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

      @VoodooBunny Hi, from some testers on the team Apex - and by extension EAC- should be generally working fine on W11. 

      If you're having some issues, you can try an EAC repair and a client repair. 

      To run the EAC repair, run the exe file from the game's installed location and choose the Repair option. 

      You can then run a Repair in Origin (right-click the game panel to get the option) or Verify Integrity if you use Steam. 



      You of course may have a more obscure or tricky issue, but generally this should be working, and hopefully the repairs do the trick for you.

    its now currently. November 6th 2021. and i still havent updated to w11. and i was wondering if its okay now to do so? i would love to upgrade to the new os. but as of right now, im still debating on it. i keep seeing AntiEasy Cheat doesnt work, but i alot of people still playing the game. ive seen people say that the game legit doesnt work on w11. but some people say it works fine. Any ideas if i should upgrade to the new OS or not?

      Still not working.  Are you kidding me.  Launch the game as an administrator.  It looks like it is going to launch and then nothing.  The play button comes back.  Guess I will be removing Apex and clearing up some disk space.

        It's working for me now. Maybe a fresh game install, or repairing through Steam/Origin? The EA Community Manager sent me some good instructions a little earlier in this post.
