Apex Legends Wont Run!

Sadly the links you've posted above no longer is linked to actual thread explaining how to manually delete your temp folder's data within Origin.

It worked for previously for me on Origin but now, the new EA App, the link you've provided is the generic information.  

The reason I'm back on this thread is because I'm on the EA App and boy has it been  a ride.  Ever since the beginning of Apex Legends  Season 17 when I try to update the game, I get the exact same issue with constant verification of game files and then back into downloading file over and over and over,

It's now day 2 going on day 3 since Season 17 launched and yet here I am still downloading Gigs and GIGS of files.  I've probably downloaded nearly 2TB of game data.  You can only imagine my frustration.

I've already done the steps in that link you provide and been doing so for 2 days now.   I really need way to do what I did back in the Origin App where it stated in the original link your provided, to go and delete certain files and folders from the User\Local\AppData\Origin directory.

Please provided me with a solution to this problem.

(cm edit - started new thread for tracking)

Thanks in advance.

    For the EA App, the Origin folder is no longer needed to perform steps.

    What we want to do are the following steps

    Delete Windows Temp Files

    • Press the Windows key + R, go into the file explorer
    • Type in %temp%, and hit Enter
    • Delete everything it allows you to delete
    • Reboot the PC

    Optional Registry clean-up

    • install CCleaner (it's free) from here
    • Run Registry cleaner
    • Click fix all
    • Do not back up files

    Try to reinstall the EA App and or the game to see if these steps help with that.
