Re: Session failed to start


@creater_ua wrote:
@Sp4ceb4llsit's very strange, I have a clean Windows without any extra programs, a new initial installation of Origin, but the error is still regularly manifested in the event log Windows

Uninstall steam/origin/apex/easyanticheat, go to windows search and look for any folder/file that is left behind after uninstalling and delete them (for all of them), install ccleaner free version and remove all the registry left behind, restart computer, reinstall steam/origin, set steam/origin/apex to run as administrator in windows 10 ( right click on steam/origin/apex desktop shortcuts ) !

This just solves the error in the event viewer but not the lag and stutters, the apex servers are trash!

    @Sp4ceb4lls I not only reinstalled Origin / Steam, but also completely reinstalled Windows with disk formatting, that is, all versions of the programs are new, installed in the first ones and without traces in the registry.

    I have corrected the problem. You do not need to reinstall anything, it is enough just to set the launch with administrator rights in the options to the Origin and r5pex.exe file !!!

    Hi,its Easy anticheat software.You need to uninstall easy anti cheat software,then install again.

    Open windows defender firewall and add+allow easy anti cheat software(c😛rogram files 86 \ easy anti cheat).

    This fixed error in event viewer and game plays smooth and without lag.

    no that is not the fix, easy anti cheat is already allowed through windows firewall automatically when you install apex on steam or origin, you can go to windows firewall click on apex legends -> details and you will see this path C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Apex Legends\EasyAntiCheat_launcher.exe that confirms what i just said! 

    the only way to fix this is to follow the steps i have posted in the post marked as solved!

    Updating EasyAntiCheat and so on and so on did not solve this issue for me, but here's what did:

    - Press the Start / Windows button.

    - Type "Services" and open it.

    - "EABackgroundService" was set to Disabled. Right click > Properties > set startup type to Manual.

    This may not be the problem for everyone, but I hope this helps at least some of you. I assume the "session" it was trying to start was actually that service, which was set to Disabled.
