Problems with Anti-cheat

by me it was the hosts file were 127.0.0.1 pointed to https://modules-cdn.eac-prod.on.epicgames.com

by deleting it all works as expected...

The game launches and on main menu it stutters for some seconds and gives error message The client is not running anti cheat or has failed anti cheat authentication

There was this bug on season 20 where the solution was to take the EasyAntiCheat_x64.dll file and put it on the root folder but this doesn't work anymore in season 21

Because there is no EasyAntiCheat_x64.dll file in my EasyAntiCheat folder
I'm on steam btw I tried many solutions i verified game files integrity, deleted easyanticheat folder and verified files to redownload it , tried a different account ..etc Nothing seem to work, i even tried full wiping the game and redownloading it and stil the same issue i get failed anti cheat errors

The error wasn't exactly by the start of season 21 but after like a week or two
do you have any other solutions

We have had multiple people with the same issue. I for one have had the same problem. Ever since the season 21 update I have been unable to launch the game. Check this link to the forum that's here.

Apex crashing every game (PC) with no errors - Answer HQ (ea.com)

@BoringMuskI have the exact same issue. There has been no fix, and no acknowledgement whatsoever.

@BoringMuskAs far as I can tell from similar posts, the issue affects a range of hardware. I use a laptop, but it affects PCs too. Do you have any ideas?

Hey Everyone, try this. When I did this it fixed my game. So I have my computer hard wired by ethernet. I am also able to use WiFi if needed. I had my WiFi enabled along with my Ethernet. I went into "Change Adapter Options" in the control panel. Right click on Wi-Fi and Disable. 

After I did that my game started to work. This ONLY happened with Apex and not any other game I have. 

Try it and let me know if it works.
