"The client failed an anti-cheat runtime integrity check."

I cannot get through a single match after the latest game update to the Anti-Cheat system.

Every match it boots me out about 10 minutes in and gives me a screen that says "The client failed an anti-cheat runtime integrity check". Furthermore, each time I'm booted from the game I keep getting longer and longer penalty timers for suddenly leaving in the middle of the match when I'm unable to help it. This limits me big time on being able to test various solutions or fixes to the issue the more I do it.

I've gone through the steps recommended multiple times from what's been posted in previous threads on here. I've also gone through this guy's youtube video on how to fix this issue, but this doesn't seem to be working too well either.

I'm wondering if anyone knows what else could possibly be causing this issue.

    @OsKNightOwl 

    Third party software installed on your hardware can account for this.

    If you have Rewasd installed de-install it and that should fix the problem.

    Okay I'll try uninstalling that. I had ReWASD installed on my computer because I was using it a long time ago for Escape from Tarkov... However, that being said i have it specifically set up to not activate for any other game besides EFT and I've also never once used it for Apex Legends or any other Steam nor Origin games. .. Nor is the ReWASD program turning on when I start up my PC or anything...... I'll uninstall it to test it out, but if Anti-Cheat is scanning someone's entire PC for certain third-party systems or anything else... That's technically a blatant disregard for any respect and privacy to players. 

    The ReWASD program I also just noticed is installed onto an entirely separate drive as well, which means that the Anti-cheat scripts and browser are indeed being blatantly invasive ...That is if THIS program is the thing somehow Disrupting/Affecting it. .... (I've also had ReWASD installed on my computer for almost 2 years now as well, which would mean this is a potentially recent update as there was an update to Apex just before I began experiencing this issue.)

    Interesting! When did this become an issue? I've been using ReWASD since season 12 and stropped around Season 16.

    I kept encountering this problem before my permanent ban on two accounts. Have there been any other software additions like this that are blacklisted?

    I paused using it to cut costs, but yeah, I continued experiencing this, even in the firing range. This persisted until about 5 days before the ban, which is what prompted my 1 to 2-week break from the game. I couldn't play, similar to what you've just described, @OsKNighOwl.

    This seems to have fixed my same issue. Thank you spent all day trying to fix it. Uninstalled rewasd and made it through a game no boot so hopefully all good. @Asmodeus566

    @DarkSideDaddy69 

    Thank for letting me know.

    I am glad this fixed your problem and was able to help you out.

    Sorry it took so long for me to answer but I was running around IRL doing IRL stuff.

    So I play EFT as well  . I just patched Apex legends and now it says I failed the anti cheat .  Never had this issue before now and I have been playing Apex since launch . So are you telling  me that Apex legends did an update that makes me choose which game  I can play?

    this hit the both of you after the update.

    This is a different issueand i do not know what it is and I am affected as well.

    this is a major bummer.

    Update: EA is aware there is a problem with the EA APP and a fix is in the works as fast as possible from EA.
