@MalekTheGrand hello. To help break it down even further, these are also some of other troubleshooting steps you can take.
Sys File:
The sys file that is located inside the Easy Anti-Cheat folder might be stopping it from creating another file. The creation of this file is necessary as it contains launch data. So if it can’t be created, the game won’t launch. Delete it from the Anti cheat folder and run Apex like normal.
Anti-Virus:
An over-enthusiastic anti-virus can block Easy Anti-Cheat from doing its job, by preventing it from accessing the internet. If it can’t communicate with the game, the game won’t launch. Allow Origin Client, EA Client, Steam Launcher, & Easy Anti Cheat Exceptions to your firewall. NOT R5Apex.exe
Damaged files:
If the game files have become corrupted, or some components are missing, this can also trigger this error. Easy Anti-Cheat needs to verify all the game files before the game can launch. Simply find EAC and open the program and hit repair, then Run Apex normally.

Sooo, I encountered the same problem a few days ago and stumbled over this thread....
I read through all your guys messages and sadly found no solution.
So I tried myself...
Instead of deleting anything, I simply went to the games directory and opened the EasyAntiCheat folder
D:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Apex\EasyAntiCheatI have it via EA Play (Origin) idk if that matters
I just ran the Setup in that folder and it led me through a repair setup where I could select Apex
Also I simply checked the game files integrity
It´s fixxed...
I hope for all of you, that you will manage to fix your game, or EA will 😠
