Game crashes to desktop without error: July 27-2022 patch

Hi all, After a small patch of 450 MB today via steam, Apex is crashing after 1 minute after launch. It doesn’t matter if I’m in the menu, firing range or in a game it crashes to desktop regardless. ...

There was an update a few days ago, however this was rolled back, and was re-updated yesterday. As this update was related to security it's likely that it has KB4534310 as a required update.

So in this case it sounds like you'll need to get the system updated in order for Apex to run going forward.

We're not experts in Windows Security updates, but what error do you get when you try to accept that update? You may want to try running the System File Checker for issues leading to the update being blocked.

I received same error, it's something to do with the steam client doing a random update.  Sometimes I can play and sometimes I can't, uninstalled the game and reinstalled it and worked fine for a day and same error again when steam did its little update.  Followed the instructions on the System File Checker and "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations." but I'm not going to uninstall and then reinstall Apex Legends every time I want to play it.
