Artificialprayer, HighwayTwo, aartsA, & Big_Ronnie_C In Windows Defender, (which is also called "Windows Security" on Windows 11), do you have the "core isolation" security setting enabled in the "device security" tab:
Navigation: Windows Defender/Security > Device Security > Core Isolation > Core Isolation Details > Memory IntegrityIf you do have the "core isolation" security setting enabled, turn it off, restart your PC, and then see if you can play the game:
Note: While the "core isolation" security setting is very important, the game won't run on some PCs because of it. The solution for this was found by E9ine_AC, as on my PC, I'm still able to run the game with the "core isolation" security setting enabled.

This doesn't seem to be my problem, as Core Isolation was already off for me. Although this may fix the issue with crashing on launch for whoever has that issue, but it doesn't seem to be the cause of crashing with the bypassIO related error in event viewer.
My crash happens 2-3 games into the initial launch, I've just been restarting my game after every 2 games to make sure I don't crash in the middle of the third one.

aartsA Can you upload a DxDiag log? I might be able to figure out what's going on by looking at that log.
I know for some users, the issue was due to having certain Nvidia GPUs and drivers, (so players had to roll back to a previous driver).- aartsA13 days agoSeasoned Novice
This is my DxDiag. I was running apex on a 572.83 NVIDIA Driver previously, and updated to the current 576.02 yesterday evening, Both still gave me the same event viewer error.
I know on the trello it mentions a DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED crash with nvidia gpus paired with certain cpus. I am not getting this crash fortunately.

So the solution is to turn off security features to appease a kernel level anti-cheat even more? Lol, nah, I uninstalled Apex, not worth all the trouble

I honestly don't blame you for uninstalling the game, (as I would too, if I had to turn off any security setting as well).
