Apex Legends doesn't start after the easy anticheat screen (Fixed, go down to explanation)

[Rey Kinito]

Its funny because when i start apex legends it doesn't start after the screen of EAC, even if i start it from the Big Picture mode, but when i use a Steam Link or the SteamLink app on any phone, it does start and i can play, but as soon as i stop streaming it crashes, i want to play it on my pc from my chair, with no imput dealy while streaming.
Anyone have a solution, i have been reading for just the desktop method, but i allready check the files, reinstall, reboot, and even reinstall windows from a USB, this is stupid. i wass able to playit 2 weeks ago and one day it wouldn't boot.

A lot of us are having the same issue. Mine hasn't worked since this last update on Tuesday. I did all the same as you and no luck. Hopefully soon they will have a patch to fix it. Unless anyone has a different fix?

Just keep trying to launch it will launch eventually. Very annoying but we will have to make do while we wait for a fix.

i have the same issue. i even tried to reinstall windows and it still wont work

[Agent Zero]

same issue. anyone found a solution?

[Babygoober]

Yep same issue. Worked fine before the update. I've tried verifying integrity, reinstalling on steam and EA, running the program as admin, changing compatibility, trying to do the stupid easy anti cheat fix, and I tried turning off all of the extra services and software that could interrupt the startup. And it still doesn't work; no more apex until they fix it I guess :( Litterally no one has found a fix or a solution that's worked besides changing the AES-NI setting in boot settings. But that's only for intel motherboards, so Idk if that works either.

I just noticed I keep getting this error everytime I launch the game:
- The server Windows.Gaming.GameBar.PresenceServer.Internal.PresenceWriter did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.

I'm not sure what that means if anyone knows.

I did the same thing several times.

It seems the new EAC anti-cheat requires the CNG Key Isolation (lsass.exe) service to be running or else the game won't even launch.

This is was the problem for me and putting it on Automatic (I had it Disabled) seems to have fixed it.

[Babygoober]

It didn't work.

[Rey Kinito]

Today, they just realised a new update, and it start working, at least it wasn't 2 month xd

you have forbidden software like REWASD or cheat ,,,, uninstal suspicious softwares {microsoft store too) must solve your problem

So I have been having the same issue since since season 21 launch. I put 46 hours into the game right before new season update, game worked just fine. Now, I cant even load into the title screen. Its pretty frustrating all things considered. I reinstalled the game three times, verified game, checked firewall, updated drivers, clean reboot. Nothing works.
