Apex wont start after EAC

Game wont even start up, after the EAC screen pops up it says "initilizing game" then "waiting for game" and game stops running. 

I have tried so many solutions from all the threads here and youtube videos and nothing works at all. 
Im at the end of my ropes and have no clue what to do at this point. Everything on my PC is up to date, done all the suggestions I could find on the internet about this, only option that I have left is to reinstall Windows but I really dont want to do that last option. 
If anyone got some sort of clue please let me know

    All I can say bud is you’re in the same boat among many others. I haven’t been able to play for 2 months now. I’ve spent hours and hours trawling through forums and work arounds. Many others have the same issue. I’ve come to accept all we can do is wait for an update and see if devs decide to fix the issue. 

  • I have this same problem! Although I did do some research, and I'd suggest messing around with EAC itself. Try installing it, reinstalling it and messing around with C++ redistributable installations. My setup is running an older 7th gen i7 and the AMD HD6870 which very well may be the issue. I don't plan to be able to run my game at a respectable Frame Rate, but if I cannot get it to launch, I may switch my card to my GTX 660. I'll tell y'all If that fixes it.

    Tip: try unplugging all peripherals right after you launch it, even the mouse, as it has been peripheral related problems in the past.
    IF YOU HAVE AN INTEGRATED OR MOTHERBOARD GPU, try turning off your pc, pulling out your GPU and changing to whatever your integrated is. If this goes according to my thinking, this should trigger Apex into giving you a GPU warning and may fix the problem (also may not lol), but it's worth a try.

  • UPDATE: I ended up Golden Reinstalling Windows and Apex AND IT WAS STILL HAPENING! I Went through TWO EA support people with no avail. Now I'm trying other obscure ways to get the game to launch. Good luck to whoever else has the same issues.

    I think its an EA issue because I also contacted EA support and said that multiple players have the same issue and they are trying to fix it. But if you find a solution please lmk.

    Maybe things will get fixed soon, Apex just release a big statement on twitter about anti cheat and matchmaking so Im hoping its gonna fix the issue many players are facing right now, I dont exactly know for how long my game has been like this cus I didn't play it for like 3 months before and only recently came back to try and finish pass but couldn't do it because of this massive problem. So like 3 weeks as far as Im counting I haven't been able to play
