    Hey @ChickingYT, 

    If you haven't already can you try starting up your PC in a Clean Boot to see if that makes any difference at all? I'm curious if there might be something else running that's related to this issue, and a Clean Boot may help get around it if that's the case. 

    For more details on how to set one up check out the EA Help website. Please let me know how that goes once you've had the chance to give it a try. Thanks!

    Lucky asf, I've done multiple clean boots, reinstalled 7 times now, each time on a different storage unit. Just deleted my WHOLE STEAM LIBRARY along with steam, 2,500gb+ down the drain, I've set compatibility mode to every version of windows, tried disabling fullscreen optimizations, tried setting to run as admin, tried compatibility troubleshooter, changed launch options, verified integrity after every single change, even tried dumping a copy from my laptop onto my pc. Next step is to throw this fancy azz brick out the gd window and take my happy self to the bar xD

    @Kshack28Go into your program files, click easy anticheat folder, click on Right Easy Anticheat and "Run as Administrator", uninstall from options on the window, reinstall, Game should work

    EDIT: Do this with Steam closed

    Go to local installation files, select the r5apex and EasyAnticheat_Launcher, left click, select properties , choose compatibility , check the Run this program as administrator. Do this to the r5apex and EasyAnticheat_Launcher only and you'll be good 🙂

    Hey folks,

    Thank you for the updates! 

    It looks like the Steam update was rolled back because of the issues that were happening with EAC. If you're still having any trouble getting Apex Legends to launch please let me know.
