crashes on start

Hi, sorry to hear you’re running into this.

Please try the following:

- Verifying your game files:

1. For the EA app, go to your library → click on the 3 dots of Apex. → Repair
2. For Steam, go to your library → right-click on Apex. → Properties → Local Files → Verify integrity of game files.

- Reinstalling Easy Anti-Cheat manually

1. Go to your Apex Legends install folder.
2. Open the EasyAntiCheat folder.
3. Right-click → Run as Administrator.
4. Click Uninstall, then Install again.

- Repairing Easy Anti-Cheat

Same steps as above, but instead of uninstalling click Repair Service in the setup window.

- Running the game or the EA App as administrator.

- Adding the game as an antivirus exception.

1. Open Windows Security.
2. Go to Virus & threat protection settings > Manage settings > Exclusions.
3. Add an exclusion for the `C:\Program Files\EA` folder and for each of your EA game folders.
4. Restart your PC.

Let me know if any of these help. If none of that works, the next useful thing is to grab the Windows Event Viewer crash entry / DxDiag.
