Apex wont launch from any app.

I have tried on steam EA etc, so what happens is i hit play EAC comes up dose its thing initializing.... waiting for game.... disappears and then nothing.

Now this only just happened after the new update for the UPHEAVAL before that it was working fine.

I have reinstalled the game many times and verified the files. i have done the msconfig stuff but the EAC is alluding me.

EasyAntiCheat_EOS_Setup - now i have not seen this version before with EOS but it dosent allow me to run it and update repair uninstall which the old one did.

Bear this in mind I have Hunt: Showdown that runs this same program same situation cant uninstall/repair etc but the game will launch and play.

Side note:

I have disabled Firewalls and try run it nothing

Deleted Base.Bin etc and verify etc

Run as Admin (Changed compatibility)

Any thoughts?

    I got it to work by deleting some files in the game directory. I deleted:

    vpk_nightly.txt
    gameversion.txt
    build.txt
    EOSSDK-Win64-Dispatch.dll
     
    I then verified the game data via the EA app and was able to hop in. Maybe it works for you too.

    Oh wait, and I also uninstalled the old Easy Anticheat at EA\Apex\__Installer\customcomponent\EasyAntiCheat. Frustrating that none of this works for you.

    @Hofykz Yeah its very annoying i've racked up about 3 hours play time by hitting play each day testing random solutions.
