Engine Error: Unknown File Version and more

Just started playing again, and the game crashes randomly with "Engine Error: Unknown file version" with different .pak files every few matches. The crashes seem random, sometimes happening when loading on the start menu or while loading into a match. Also been getting errors with the anticheat and getting BSODs when running the game. The computer has already been cleanly installed with Windows 11 and then 10, downloaded Apex on Steam and Origin, down verifying integrity and repairing multiple times, and none of that seemed to have fixed it. What can be done?

  • Heya @Kopeh,

    As for the .pak error, I wouldn't know what would be causing that.

    I'll look into the fixes others have found for this, I'll report back with that later.

    Though let's worry a bit more about the errors with EAC and you getting BSODs.

    What error displays on your screen when you get a BSOD?

    Do you have any .dmp files inside of this folder?

    (D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Apex Legends\Crashpad\db)

    If so, please put them into a .rar archive and attach them to your post.

    (These files don't contain any sensitive information, I'll use a program to analyze these files and I'll let you know what the cause could be)
