EAC Waiting for Game - Closes
This is a new one for me. It started after an update last year and I'd sort of given up but had some renewed energy in looking into this.
Initially I had this when I was using the EA App, now I'm having it in Steam as well after I got rid of the EA App as Apex was the only game I was trying to play there.
- Upon attempting to launch Apex Legends, Easy Anti Cheat window opens to the Initializing prompt then Waiting for Game. It then closes and nothing happens.
- Event Viewer shows "File System Filter 'EasyAntiCheat_EOSSys' (Version 6.1, 2025-02-17T01:56:34.000000000Z) unloaded successfully." There are no errors after it tries to load.
- I've looked this up in numerous places and have done the following random feeling steps to solve found by searching up the error:
- Deleted the Nvidia Physxupdate files
- Bios update to the most recent my board has available (ASrock z390 Taichi 4.3)
- Reinstalled the game many times
- Used different game launchers and source locations to run it from on my system
- Verified file integrity
- Made sure I don't have anything called Proxycap running
- I can't seem to run the Easy Anticheat EOS Setup file at all, it just pops a cmd window then disappears (run as admin or not)
- I ran the standard Easy Anti Cheat executable and all the games show up as "Game ID xxx" so I have no idea which one is Apex.
- All in all, I have no idea what to do to get this to work again. The screenshot probably isn't helpful but this is where it dies after initializing.
- Point to note is that all other EAC games work fine for me. Only Apex does this "waiting for game then nothing.
If there's any other details that may be needed I'd be happy to send them in. There's no error codes, no logs, no crashes, no system changes prior to this starting. Same hardware, same OS.
Thanks everyone (and anyone),
