Noticed that locating EasAntiCheat_Setup.exe in game directory "Apex Legends\EasyAntiCheat" and uninstalling it via the exe file (as admin) and NOT installing it again, Apex still launches and crashes after 1 minute. It's extremely strange because the game should not even be able to launch without the "Anti cheat" installed.
So at least for me, repairing the service or reinstalling the anti cheat is completely useless.
Do not reinstall the game on steam or origin and do not reinstall Windows, seen a couple of threads claiming issues with OS. If your issue is similar its 100% the game that malfunctions..
Nvidia driver: 516.79 hotfix did not solve it either.
I use: Geforce GTX 1080 Ti.
There is no troubleshooting steps that will fix this issue I've tried it all.....
Dev team need's to troubleshoot the game code itself and release a proper patch along side a working anti cheat system that doesn't crash it.
I used to play Warzone and thought the dev's where not doing a gob job with the updates but this is on another level!!! Stop the troubleshooting BS it's so much work for the end user's and that shouldn't be the case...….Fix the damn unplayable game!!!!!!
I recently tried the alleged Valorant method, never got a message nor did it work.
Apparently 473.00 is the cut off gap for Nvidia drivers on Win7.
I cannot download 516.00WHQL.
This is entirely Apex's fault. No user should have to suffer for any of this. Anti tampering or otherwise.
I already heard on twitter that the hackers have already gotten past the update.
I literally have no other recourse than to wait for an update. Even then I feel it's asinine.
At least they're having fun at our expense for trusting this company...
So, Origin Apex works but no one is having any luck with loading Apex on Steam correct? I'm loading the game through steam and tried all the methods since the game not working Tuesday, and no luck. Just the AntiCheat window, green bar fills up all the way, CPU fan kicks on and then goes quiet with my game crashing with no error code, just brings me to my desktop.
Not for myself and many others.
Origin and Steam both kick out before you get to actual splash screen.
Easy Anti Cheat and/or Apex is currently screwing a lot of people
Currently testing eben0's method and doing a NVIDIA Hotfix. Will update if it works
