I think I've tried everything: repairing, reinstallation, updating drivers, installing in disk C or other disks, running in admin, disabling full-screen optimization, easy anti cheat repair, updating to win11 (btw I hate win11), clean boot, adding something to security defender, disabling vanguard, and so on. No one solves the problem.
I guess it might be some kind of environment setup problem? Should I reinstall some visual C++ *? dk if it would work.
I have another laptop that can run this game but too lagging to play, on this more expensive gaming laptop it wouldn't even launch so I don't think it's a problem about performance.
After I launch the game, easy anti cheat runs, after EAC finishes and disappears, a process named "apex legends" appears in the background processes. The CPU usage of the process would then decay from about 15% to 0% and disappear from the task manager instantly.
Of hundreds of games, only this one wouldn't work. To me, it is some really weird and bizarre thing...
Do I need to try some IP config resets? One of my friends successfully ran Valorant by doing that XD
