Just remove easyanticheat from the pc completely and reinstall it via a game (like fortnite , rust) and launch apex legends, 1000% works.

official site : https://www.easy.ac/en-US/support/articles/eac-windows-service

and follow step : How to manually uninstall
Open a Command Prompt as Administrator
Run the command: cd C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyAntiCheat_EOS
Run the command: EasyAntiCheat_EOS.exe qa-factory-reset
It is normal that no text is output. The next command will confirm that it worked.
Run the command: echo %ERRORLEVEL%
If you see 0 then the uninstall operation succeeded. If you see something else then it failed. Make sure you are running an Administrator Command Prompt and try again.
Close the Command Prompt
Delete the C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyAntiCheat_EOS directory

and follow my technical ' Just remove easyanticheat from the pc completely and reinstall it via a game (like fortnite , rust) and launch apex legends, 1000% works. '

I don't know if it will help others, but I was in the same situation as someone who does not have Daemon Tools installed, did not have anything related to Daemon Tools in the Device Manager.

Also, by removing easyanticheat from PC does not worked for me.

I did have a program "HotKeys" or something like that (green icon), but it didn't help with deleting/uninstalling. Also, did installed Daemon Tools and uninstalled it, and it did not help.

Was something else, Bluetooth....
were
In the comments, someone said to download Drive Store Explorer from GitHub and checking what programs could cause problems there. Here is the link to the GitHub:

https://github.com/lostindark/DriverStoreExplorer

I did check and nothing was related to Daemn Tools, but someone in the comments said to check any program that provided/published is "Disc Soft Ltd" and I did have. In my case was 3 files with different names, but the same publisher (unknown file name in my case).

2 files I was able to delete them (was some left over files, even RevoUnistaller couldn't delete them :)) ), but one I couldn't delete directly through Drive Store Explorer, because was something related to "Virtual Bluetooth HID Device", and the error was something like "Error removing x file, driver may be still in use".

Ok, I have my earphones connected via Bluetooth, but ok, I will try to delete.

I force delete that file via Powershell, and below are the steps:

Open Powershell via Administrator

Run this command -> pnputil /enum-drivers

Find the X file from the list that you found from Drive Store Explorer (in my case, was hidgamemap.inf or, in parentheses was oem38.inf )

Run this command (by replacing what is between [ ], and also deleting square brackets) -> pnputil /delete-driver [fileName] /force /uninstall
Full command line example in my case pnputil /delete-driver oem38.inf /force /uninstall

Refresh Drive Store Explorer and check if that file still exists (should not)

Optional, restart PC.

This fixed my problem.

Very stupid, indeed, but it was fun to do a "reverse engineering" and understand why this is happening :))
Apparently, if you have a file/folder/program that is related to Disc Soft Ltd publisher, it will break Anti Cheat

Hope this will help.

Thanks Respawn for blocking people out of the game. If it's meant to block cheaters good. If it went overboard and blocks people like me who keep the game populated but are not brainiacs for troubleshooting stuff we shouldnt, well then, good luck keeping the game going.

Has anyone found a way to fix the error code 0x80000002? Before you suggest deleting Daemon Tools, DS4, or AutoKey—I don’t have any of them installed in the first place. If anyone else is experiencing the same issue, please reply.

Dm me

Yeah they should totally roll back the new security measures, what an awesome idea.
