It seems the new EAC anti-cheat requires the CNG Key Isolation (lsass.exe) service to be running or else the game won't even launch.
This is was the problem for me and putting it on Automatic (I had it Disabled) seems to have fixed it.
EDIT:
Everyone should go into %AppData%/Roaming/EasyAntiCheat and then check the logs named "service.log" and "anticheatlauncher.log" for errors.
That should give you a clue to what is happening.

[11:53:00:958] [Windows] [EAC Launcher] [Err!] Fatal error, game process handle: 00000000000005B0, exit code: 3221226505.
This is what my anticheatlauncher.log says.... Any idea what to do with this?
BRO THIS IS INSANE WHY HASNT THERE BEEN ANY UPDATE TO THIS1?!!?!? the eoc setup just isnt doing anything. a brief black screen pops up then goes away. It's not actually installing anuthing - PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!
@shaundc8pSorry if I'm stating the obvious, but did you actually start the service?
i have same error 20006 ( 1053 ) i changed the manual to automatic still nothing same error popped up over and over again and all started this nice sunday after launcher bring new uptade ( i wasn't online after alter patch day ) there were no issue after alter patch so whoever * up i hope soon they realize and fix the issue
i am ea launcher user and i am this close to switch to steam, another crazy idea gonna delete the game for good ffs spending half day to fix something which is i didn't create just crazy !! repair - check - read forums, articles to find out/learn whats going on so frustrating
Edit: i manage to make it work after hours by chance.
there is a guy who explains for epic game launcher in a video credit belong to him ( lightning.tutorials)
here is the steps
1. go to the file location in our case C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Apex\EasyAntiCheat
2. create a shortcut for EasyAntiCheat_EOS_Setup put in the folder
3. right click on EasyAntiCheat_EOS_Setup - Shortcut " Properties " > Target
4. in Target box add " repair " end of the line ( ...yAntiCheat_EOS_Setup.exe" repair)
5. double click on it and wait for a small black screen to success
its not working either.
That 3221226505 exit code error seems to be related to lsass.exe, at least it's the only connection I can find while researching. So like @catb0rg said, do make sure the CNG Key Isolation service is indeed RUNNING and on AUTOMATIC and doesn't throw an error when it starts. For those that don't know, you can type Windows Key + R to launch the Run... dialog then type services.msc to look at the services list, or simply search for "Services" in the Start Menu. Try a reboot and check again.
You can also try to run an "sfc /scannow" as administrator to look for faulty or missing system files.
Check if your antivirus is not blocking the anticheat, check Defender.
That's basically all I can think of at the moment.
EAC EOS is using these dlls: sechost.dll ntdll.dll
when I type that SFC /scannow nothing happens. I black window pops up and I can't actually look at anything. I switched the CNG mode from manual to automatic, nothing. Should the easyanticheat all be on manual as well? I'm wondering if this has to do with the fortnite EAC I have installed on my PC because there was just an update there that I did and I'm not sure if that is affecting my apex because I could run apex before the major update they did this past week. I'm so irritated man this is crazy why does EA help more. Useless support section.
Well after days and days of useless EA support. I reset my pc. Just go into the start menu, type reset, follow the instructions. I moved all my * to an external HDD. But this was the only way. Now I just gotta figure out why my game isn't as smooth as it was before I reformatted. Ugh.
Wish I had better news bro but unfortunately this is what I had to do for it to work
Bro I can't tell you how mad I am I had to reformat because now everything needs to be reoptimized. I just wanted to play. Stupid * EA. I hope you figure it out man. Best of luck
seems to be the case for only "some" players. so they dont care. been 2 weeks now.
