Re: game won't lunch error code 15

Hi @MAJOR_JAX

In a lot of cases error 15 comes up because security software is blocking the game. Have you checked to see if there is an exception for Apex Legends or Origin in your antivirus? Adding an exception may help stop the error from coming up.

  • I no longer get error 15, now I only get 29. Could I please have some guidance on this issue ?

    Thanks, I appreciate those details. 


    When you have a chance could you try starting up your PC in a Clean Boot to see if that helps at all? If there's something else running on the PC that could be causing this error that may help to get around it. 

    For more info on how to set one up check out the EA Help website. Let me know how that goes when you have a chance. 

    Thanks!

  • @EA_KentI did this last night while talking to support and it still gave me error 29. I also tried clearing origin cache, flushing DNS. It's not my network because it launches fine on another machine with same anti virus. It's something to do with the fact that I uninstalled and reinstalled I just don't know how to get it working

    Thanks for following up!

    When you reinstalled did you install the game on a different storage drive than the one you were using previously?

  • @EA_Kent No I installed in the exact same place.

    I fixed it in the end by reinstalling windows. Pretty disappointing it had to come to that but I exhausted all other options.

    Thanks for following up and letting me know. 

    I know that reinstalling Windows entirely can be quite an ordeal, but I'm glad to hear you were able to get it working afterward. 👍

    Dang, I really dont want to go through the trouble of reinstalling windows. All my games with Easy Anti Cheat throws exact same error. Other games that doesnt use EAC works fine. Did chkdisk and sfc scan as well...
