Community AdminHi,
Hopefully this can help ppl. that only started having problems today with starting the game, and hopefully others too.
I've confirmed this solution 3 times, and what causes it in my case.
Solution:
-MAKE A NEW WINDOWS PROFILE (Normal computer account, not a Microsoft Account)
-REBOOT and log into your new account and start Origin
-Disable all notifications in Origin, so hopefully on the next invite, this won't repeat until a fix is out.
-Start Apex
It works for me... UNTIL someone invites me to a game, and the crash + process repeats.
I've tried clearing all cache, flushing dns, reinstalling drivers and uninstalling the game + origin + multiple restarts without success etc. etc..
So after someone invited me again and the problem reappeard, I made another profile.... AGAIN. And it worked. Games starts normally.
I saw someone reinstalled windows and still got the same error.
Question - Did it crash after someone invited you and then you couldn't start the game anymore?
More background info:
I've had a couple of the issues regarding crashing game and not being able to start the game the last week. (Fixed some off them by following advice on this forum)
Also had a couple of days with no problem.
Today I played full 3 games, until I was in the lobby and a friend invited me to a match, game crashed into windows with no error, after that I couldn't start the game again normally at all.
I only get the Respawn Logo and then back to desktop with no error message.
After trying everything previously mentioned in this thread without success, I tried what works normally on random/hard to find errors at my work.
(50 000 customers and 3500+ applications in a windows environment within health care, which in 80% of cases just takes too much time to troubleshoot, so we make A NEW WINDOWS PROFILE and if that doesn't work we reinstall the PC)
After the last crash (and 2 new profiles), I uninstalled Origin + Apex and deleted all Origin-folder in AppData, User\Local and User\Roaming and reinstalled Origin but it still won't start.
Only works when making a new profile.
So my best guess at this time is that some files are still somewhere that needs to be deleted and/or it's some strings in the registry that needs to go.
Sorry for the lengthy post, hope this can help someone else and Mr EA_Blueberry to have some more data.
Still getting those crashes... was okay on the first few days, then it started to happen... 3-5 times in a day, makes the game unplayable.. even for my friend. we're using discord, so in the next round we gonna test it without it.
