Apex Legends won't start after EasyAntiCheat loading (Windows 11)

Hello everyone! So I installed Windows 11 (2 days ago) and I started having this problem with Apex : I launch Origin, then I launch the game, the "EasyAntiCheat" loading starts, finishes, but then n...

    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.

I found a fix that worked for me:

1) Go into game location folder

2) setup easy anti cheat and select Repair Service for Apex Legends

3) delete r5apex in the root location folder

4) verify integrity / repair the game through either Steam or Origin, whichever you use

5) game should work on windows 11 now

At least this worked for me 🙂

The problem is 2-fold from what I see, EA has not requested the correct version of Easy Anti-cheat to support Apex for the Windows 11 OS. Epic might or might not have it ready as I have put a ticket in with them and they have not answered it.

    Well, the recent post I made was not correct. 

    Here is the fix that worked for me:

    well F^% me.. i found the fix...
    when and if you update to windows 11

    opens settings, search for 'Controlled Folder access'

    and then add Apex and Easy Anti-cheat

    Too bad EA couldn't figure it out after multiple tickets and 2 months of wait time

      Wish that worked for me in Windows 11, but controlled folder access wasn't enabled.  I tried turning it on and adding EAC and Apex as Allowed App but that didn't work either.  Same launch but no launch issue as you.

      Win 11

      i9 12900 KF

      RTX 3080

      32gb DDR 5 6000mhz

      Kingston 2tb PCIe4x4/NVMe, SSD

      I guess Apex is 'old' by today's standards... Next! >>>>

        @NWeSource An update on Thursday has made this issue crop up again, but it's not tied to OS -- people reporting it on W7/8/10/11. There's a pinned post on this forum that's tracking it but still no resolutions from EA.
