Hey @AraDyalan
Are you using Avast or AVG Anti Virus by any chance ?
- 6 years ago@Zeelmaekers I am indeed using Avast why is it blocking it perhaps?

Hey @AraDyalan
Apex legends is getting flagged by Avast as Malware.
They are aware of this issue and they are investigating this.
However, to be able to play Apex you will have to set it as an exception for now.
I'll leave the steps how you can set Apex as a exception in you Anti Virus.- Open the Avast user interface
- go to Settings
- Click on General
- Find the tab Exclusions
- Add: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Apex\r5apex.exe" here.
This should most of the time be the location Apex is installed. - Press "Ok" and Repair Apex Legends.
If you have done these steps you should be able to play. :eahigh_file:
- 6 years ago@Zeelmaekers i did this and I downloaded a other r5apex,exe that my friend sent me and it is saying file not reconigezed do you happen to know how I can get the original exe
