Error reading pak file

I am having some trouble with a game file I guess. Everytime I load into Apex, Im met with a engine error that states: Error reading pak file 

“C\:Users\19102\SAVEDG~1/Respawn/Apex/assets/11/store/dl_store_s10_wraith_s07e01_legendary_01.rpak” —Error: Short read. I’ve looked through the game files and everything to find and delete it and its nowhere to be seen. I’ve uninstalled the game and reinstalled it and it still didn’t work either. If I could get some help on this, I would gratefully appreciate it.

    Hey, @ProfessorMatt can you try a clean boot to see if any programs are messing with APEX and turn off any overlay programs, such as Discord or Nvidia experience.

     

    Can you add a Dxdiag so we can see what hardware and drivers you have? 

     

    Let me know if this works or not for you. 🙂

    I'm having the same issue, but with a different .pak file, the suicide awareness badge one. I've done three clean boots for other reasons in the last 24 hours since the issue started; was about to try a reinstall but came here first to see if anyone else had the same issue. Does anyone have any ideas about how to fix this?
