    After closing and re-opening my steam 10mins prior, I've just received a steam update, rolling back to it's previous update as they address the Anti-Cheat issue affecting various games.

    Hopefully everyone's gucci now

    ok, reinstall finished, and "steamclient64.dll" has been deleted, so no more issues with easy anti-cheat failing. i now just have a steam message that compiles every time i hit "OK"

    @MisterShramp go to apex location, then open the easy anti cheat folder, run EasyAntiCheat_Setup as administrator and click repair service, worked for me

    Go to local installation files, select the r5apex and EasyAnticheat_Launcher, left click, select properties , choose compatibility , check the Run this program as administrator. Do this to the r5apex and EasyAnticheat_Launcher only and you'll be good 🙂

    Good morning. Popping in to mark @UzumakiTeto's post as correct, this should be rolled back and working as normal now.
