ERROR 0x887a0005 / 0x887a0006 Steam version

I've tried probably all tips from Google, Youtube, Reddit, and EA answers. Specs RAM 16GB, RTX 3070 Ti


I'm running an NVIDIA GPU and I have the latest driver, I even rolled back on 2 older stable drivers (clean install) 

I don't have overclocked, nothing I can find online to fix it helps.

9 of 10 Crashes happen shortly before landing on the ground at the beginning of a game, 1 out of 10 is randomly when the game is going on (in case get that far)


I've already tried:

  • set device and GPU for best performance, instead of power-saving
  • set Anti-Cheat priority to low in Task Manager
  • repair the game
  • cap frame rate +fps_max 75
  • lowering the graphical settings
  • reinstall game+steam
  • update bios
  • update drivers
  • reinstall drivers vs DDU and download drivers from the site
  • turn on/off XMP
  • change pagefile.sys to min 910 max 25000 / or 16384 stable / or allow Windows to manage pagefile size
  • in the Control Panel I've changed the value for Turn off Hard Disk (minutes) to 0
  • closed all programs and overlays
  • TdrDelay and CpuPriorityClass registry edits
  • turn off G-SYNC
  • delete "cfg" folder and check the local files
  • switching language to French/Polish 
  • set the display mode to FullScreen or Windowed or Windowed without margins 

  • run the Apex Legends troubleshooting compatibility test
  • disabled external hard drives that are not in use
  • add the source to the list of allowed applications in the Windows Defender Firewall

  • give the Steam and r5apex.exe + r5apex_dx12.exe Admin rights while open
  • - Nvidia control panel > manage 3D settings > Program settings > r5apex.exe > V-sync: ON

    - In-game > V-sync: disabled and Nvidia Reflex: disabled

  • disabled fullscreen optimisations
  • reinstall the game to the internal hard drive (C:\) 
  • verified connectivity to Easy Anti-Cheat
  • clean boot
  • various other ways I may forget to mention because it's too many
