Re: Apex Legends process not closing whenever exiting game.

cant see the process on task manager but can see it with process explorer. I've changed r5apex.exe compability's to windows 8 and starting as admin, deleted shaderscache folder (SteamLibrary\steamapps\shadercache\1172470 - 1172470 apex's id) and installed process hacker to stop the process but i didnt use it after those game closed. Now it works as it used to be.

When linking third-party software on these forums you should mention that it's a 3rd party tool and that it's used at the owners risk.

These sites can include ads and the tools themselves could possibly be dangerous, just be sure to mention the proper details otherwise it might get removed.

After closing the game it seems like it isn't really running as a process, nor has it been elevated.

Currently still looking into it, nothing discovered yet though I'll make sure to update some of the threads if I find something relevant.

I tried to kill the proces with cmd, and it didn't help. Reason "brak działania wystąpienia zadania" ("task instance not working")

Looks like the anti cheat problem is OLD since this thread is from 2020. EAC makes this kind of problem in other games not only Apex.

So I haven’t found a full fix yet. But for the people who close the game and it won’t close. If you go to the EA launcher and click the three lines at the top left and hover over Help then click restart app, it will fix it , and everytime it bugs out just do this instead of turning off your pc , and I believe with the steam version you have to press CTRL then R and it should restart steam, I’ve tried closing in the task manager but all I get is a error when I try to load back up, 

Hey folks, this thread is quite old and was originally created about a specific instance of this issue.

The team is currently investigating, so we'll be locking this thread here to make sure all the information is about the current situation.

Please feel free to follow along in this thread instead if you're still encountering this issue, thanks!
