SOLUTION:
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyAntiCheat and delete the .sys file
the game should now work!
Deleting that .SYS file does not work for me. I still receive the same error message and Apex Legends will not launch. I have done extensive uninstallation, reinstallation, CCleaner running, virus scanning, and everything else I can think of and I have read online. Is anyone else still having this issue?
I had this issue today and I discovered the root cause. My antivirus (Kasperski) was running a rootkit scan while this happened. So, I decided to wait for the scan to finish assuming it was the antivirus preventing the game to execute and create the temp files it needs (The anticheat specifically), and it was it. Once the antivirus finished I was able to start the game without issues, no need for a PC restart or nothing alike.
