Hi I also encountered this issue and here is a REALLY WEIRD solutionbut it worked for me. It is from my friends.
My env: i7-10875H + RTX2070 + Windows 11
1. Download Valorant and reboot your machine. Yes, VALORANT.
2. You should receive a notice from Vanguard from Valorant, saying some files in your computer has been blocked since they are violating anticheat (though they are normal files at most cases)
3. Make a backup for files mentioned above, and remove them from their directory.
4. Reboot your machine and launch Apex. Now Apex is operational on my machine.
Attached is the screenshot describing the step 2 and my current Apex. The game got operational after I remove marked files.
Strangely enough, updating the latest valorant ended up working for me. Even after i had repaired EAC multiple times, after updating valorant to the latest version (and i'm also assuming vanguard as well), I restarted my PC, steam then asked to install steam services via admin rights (never had this happen ever) and then it requested to install EAC for apex legends (even though it was already installed?), i'm now sitting in firing range for longer than 30 seconds and it has yet to crash (fingers crossed).
Thanks @Echori7
