Re: Apex Legends won't launch [PC]

Hi, as it turned out I believe Sophos Home was preventing from launching. I don't know how or why as I checked it and sure enough there was no record of it blocking any Apex files from working but, upon uninstalling Sophos, I was able to launch Apex instantly.

    I have this same issue with Apex and sophos home.

    Please try to go into your settings (on that web page that opens) .  Turn off exploit mitigation and see if you can launch the game.   

    Thanks

    Go to sophos settings
    Then to Exploits -> Exploit Migation -> Advanced Settings
    Then disable:
    - Prevent APC violation
    - Prevent code cave utilization
     
    UPDATE:
    I seem to have found a better way.
    If you open Sophos on your computer
    At the bottom got to troubleshooting
    Then add Local Exclusions, add both Apex and Easy anti cheat.
    They should by default be located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Apex\
     
    Alternative use the above
