Apex Legends error 0x8000002
Hello EA Support Team, I’m unable to start **Apex Legends** due to the following error message: > **Integrity error 0x8000002** > *Apex exited due to external tools that jeopardize gameplay integrity.* --- ### What I’ve already tried: 1. Completely **uninstalled and reinstalled Apex Legends**. 2. **Uninstalled and reinstalled EA AntiCheat**. 3. **Verified the game files** through EA App. 4. **Cleared EA App cache**, temporary folders, and `ProgramData`. 5. **Removed all third-party software** that might interfere with AntiCheat (MSI Afterburner, RivaTuner, OBS, Discord Overlay, antivirus software, etc.). 6. **Removed all virtualization-related software**, which I previously used **only for servers and web development** (like Hyper-V, VirtualBox, Docker, etc.). → The issue **still persists** after completely removing them. 7. Tried **running the game as Administrator**, in **Safe Mode**, and on **different drives** — no effect. 8. **Windows is genuine and fully updated**, with all drivers installed and no system modifications. --- ### Additional details: * Other EA games work fine. * No active virtualization, debugging, or scripting tools are present. * I’m attaching a **screenshot of the error (0x8000002)**. * I can also provide **dxdiag**, **msinfo32**, and **EA AntiCheat logs** if required. --- Please help me understand **what files, drivers, or services** could be causing this *Integrity error 0x8000002* and how I can completely clean my system so the game can launch normally. Thank you in advance for your help.
Apex Font issues on handheld devices
It's been around a month and the frustration is growing. There have been several reports made in regards to this, but the only one that had an answer was in Japanese and it was promptly closed due to un supporting language. The issue at hand is the Apex Font, more specifically Icons and text. Even before loading onto the lobby screen. The server list, exit text is around 3 times larger than usual. In the lobby ALL the clickable options above (PLAY, EVENT,CHALLENGES etc.) are larger. All currencies, packs, news and statistics too. If that would be the only issues, it would be okay. But there are hindrances in game too. Minimap is a 1/6th of the screen. The inventory placement, Loba shop is also stretched. All item texts ar way bigger. So overall it feels like the whole game is stretched with no explanation. Have seen reports made on ROG Ally and ROG Ally X. if there are anyone with issues on different consoles/devices, please reply below. And to any Moderator that is going to look into this. It happened around when the Sentinel has been removed due to it not working properly. And if needed all the screenshots will be provided with examples once a moderator has requested them. Thank you.
Sydney server packet loss bug
Since the Lunar rebirth Event me and many other players have experienced a bug on sydney servers where the game randomly gives you high packet loss and you rubber band everywhere it makes the game unplayable there was a guy on reddit who experienced the same thing as me this has been a problem for 3 weeks now and it's unplayable
Doors get stuck
when you open a door around the same time that you collide with it one half of the door doesn't open and then both doors kinda freeze in place. Happened in dues, Olympus around "Grow Towers". Could really kill some1 and killed me in a game before while trying to escape dashing into a door, or trying to follow someone.
Stuttering
Hello Respawn I have recently downloaded apex legends via steam on my gaming laptop, once logged in to the game i have severe stuttering/freezing. Approximately half of it is gameplay and have is lag or frozen screen. Video of issue attached. Specs of PC: Lenovo LOQ | i5 12450HX | RTX 3050 6GB| 16gb + 8gb ddr5| Micron 512gb gen4x4 approximately 40gb free space Fixes tried: Lowering all graphical settings to a minimum, clean install of graphic drivers which worked one day then the next day stopped, closing background apps, lowering refresh rate and fps cap, changing sound from 7.1ch to mono and then stereo, changing audio output device from default to my specific device(BT earphones). I am using a LAN cable as well as wifi testedgeolocation, routing, server selection
Hi im a creator hub member and ea creator , i have an issue in game. I live in San Diego, but I’m having geolocation and ping issues in games. My connection keeps routing me to central servers as my main region, even though my Steam download region is set to US–San Diego. central servers are set to 30+ ping and west is set to 40+ i used to get 5 ping but its now higher and setting me as central server which doesnt make any sense. also to note that im not sure if this has to do with the inconsistent fps in game ranging from 150-180 super super fast to the point i cannot read the fps cap possible frame pacing issues as well not sure one more time if its related to the geolocation routing etc. thank you !Extremely low CPU and GPU usage
After couple of last patches (especially after Wildcard update) performance has tanked significantly and GPU is used at most at 15-20% (as well as CPU). Setup: RTX 3050ti 4gb (laptop), cpu: Intel I9. All the drivers, game files, Windows is up to date. This underperformance is noticed exclusively in Apex Legends (other games work as intended) Already tried using dx11, clean installing all the drivers, changing priority settings in Windows, reinstalling tha game, playing through Origin and Steam, using minimal graphic settings, checking for viruses
Cannot select appropriate data center
I am playing on ps5, gamertag KILL_U_DEAD. I keep getting placed into the central European data center when im located in Montana. Im not using a VPN. This is causing horrible ping, lag and load times making the game almost unplayable. I try to select us west and it stays on EU servers. Please help me out.
