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.
@Tradables For clarification, the game opens fine. I get kicked in the middle of matches with this error.
That being said, I have made exceptions in the firewall for the processes that you mentioned. I have not been kicked since (though whether that is luck or a permanent solution remains to be seen). Regardless, thank you.
This does not, however, solve the crashing in character select. From what I can tell on that, it seems to happen as I mouse over characters, and they're always blocky and composed of maybe 10 polys total as it freezes. That may be a system issue, but it wasn't an issue before S13. If you have any advice for that as well, I'd be VERY happy to hear it. ♥

So I just got the error AGAIN, and my duo also got kicked with a different error. Difference is that she's able to rejoin the match immediately, but I get booted from the match and held in lobby as if we got squad wiped.

Hello. I have been having issues with Apex kicking me out of ranked games. Everything will be going fine, and then for some reason the game freezes, and it sends me back to the main screen. An error comes up and says something along the lines of "Failed ____ anti-cheat exception_____" I don't remember what it says. The more annoying thing is this kicks me out of the game I am in, and then gives me a leaver penalty and then I don't get any LP for the kills/placement/etc. Is there some system that checks and just kicks people out of the games they are in, because this is ridiculous?

I have had the same problem since patch 13.1. I have already tried several things and nothing, I have contacted EA and neither and it is only with Apex because other games with Easy Anti-cheat Does not occur. It is a pity that EA does not investigate this problem because I know that there have already been bans and it is said that the error occurs when there are micro crashes on the server
- 3 years ago@grillo2403 Hey! turns out we're not the only ones, either and people are ending up BANNED because of this! Just read the first post that comes up in the vid and that's almost exactly what's happening to me, but during matches.

- 2 years ago@MalekTheGrand Hello. I know that it has been about a year since you had this problem apparently but I keep getting kicked out of matches too. I think I have the same problem as you, but I already disabled my computer's anti-virus completely. Do you have any other ideas I may try?
