Integrity error 0x8000002

Everytime I load up apex, it says "Apex exited due to an externak tool that jeopardizes gameplay integrity.

Please exist any problematic software before running Apex. This may include scripting software, virtual controllers, debuggers, or reverse engineering tools."

I don't have anything open besides GoXLR to hear the game, A Steamdeck, no controller is currently plugged in, there's nothing extra. The only thing I can possibly think of is my headset being connected to the GoXLR (?), Doesn't make much sense.. and a Camera. 

If I open task manager, all I see is StreamElements, Nvidia, Steam, Discord, Google, Game Bar, Microsoft OneDrive, Dolby, AVG Tune up, Elgato audio control server, Razer, and a bunch of normal background stuff like system n what not. There's nothing else, I'm so confused on why all of a sudden I cannot play? I was able to play last year no problem, now I can't even log into the game and "register/sign into" my account.

    Are you using a Linux system? 

    Please note SteamDeck was never supported by Apex even though people were using it to play/exploit the game and cheat.

    SteamDeck has been blocked. I forget when this actually occurred but must have been towards the end of 2024/beginning of 2025. 

    If you are trying to launch the game via SteamDeck then this could be why it will not work.

     

  • I need help with this same error, I didn't have any issues with the game before the update yesterday, I have no problematic software that i'm aware of and I have no overlays active. I'm especially frustrated by this because I just got back into apex and bought the battlepass and now I can't even enter the firing range. If there is a log anywhere that I can send in to get looked at to have this issue rectified, I will gladly do so. otherwise I'll see if I can get a refund just for the inconvenience...

    No, I am just launching it straight from steam, the steamdeck isn't even plugged in and hasn't been for awhile. Is there a system that's connected to it even though it isn't plugged in? I can look for it and try to remove it :) 

    It was only used for streaming, like a soundboard. Otherwise that was it, but it doesn't have a use rn anyways.

    Alright. I've completely uninstalled steam deck from the computer and elgato sound system (it's what's used in able to use a steam deck) yet I get the same error over and over again. it would be nice if someone had discord so I could share my screen and get this issue fixed but I doubt it'll happen. I don't even know what to do at this point :/
