APEX BADWARE DETECTED???????

[Void]

I haven't been able to play the game ever since the last update, nothing has changed, like I haven't installed any new programs/softwares or anything, but the game tells me that a Badware has been detected?

WTF?

I've seen people say that uninstall this, uninstall that and it MIGHT fix the problem but I'm not gonna uninstall softwares that I've been using since I first started this game in 2019.

Has Respawn even addressed this issue?

Well, I guess you have only two options: uninstall some weird software and play the game or keep the badware and forget about this game.

The funny thing is, how many dudes shouting out loud about the cheater problem in the game, and at the same time a lot of dudes facing problems with the game launch because of EAC/badware detection etc. etc.

For everyone who uninstall daemon tools and still bug.
Install DriverStoreExplorer to see all drivers.
Sort by manufacturer and delete all Disc Soft drivers.
I forced remove rwsddrvmap.inf and rwsddrvflt.inf

I did forget about the game for like 4 months and just played Single Player games, but when the season started, I wanted to try playing again but the cooldown changes to Path made sure that I only play 1-2 matches every other day or so, but after the changes to Tacticals during this update, I wanted to try it but can't because of this BS.

Alright, I'll try and see if that helps.
But I use Daemon Tools every now and then to mount ISOs, so this can't be a permanent solution, Respawn needs to get it together and fix the damn issues.

Thank you!

I'm getting the same error (0X8000002).....
I've uninstalled everything that reportedly could cause the error that I found:

• Daemon Tools Ultrea (which I need for work)
  
• Windows DS4
  
• Riot Vanguard (sadly because I like LoL)
  
• Remove some things in the device manager
  
• Synology Virtual USB Hub

Are you serious?! I have to uninstall other games?!

Maybe the minimum requirements should say "dedicated APEX PC on a clean Windows installation without any other games or programs, because we are not able to program working anticheat software"

Simply ridiculous

It IS ridiculous, thankfully it started working after I uninstalled Daemon Tools.
But did you try the steps mentioned by Raiman?
Completely remove all traces of DiscSoft from your PC using DriverStoreExplorer, I saw many people saying that it worked when they tried this.

I saw this mentioned in a reddit post but was hesitant to try it because they are terrible at explaining things over there. I don't know exactly what I had, but sorting by Distributers I found 1 driver under DiscSoft and perma deleted the driver; As well as left over drivers for Voicemod. Apex Legends will now boot, and Im gonna try Black Ops 6 as well since I had the same sort of crash for that game too (their ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Anti-Cheat scanning my system for programs they disagree with). I appreciate the help

At least they're actually trying to stop cheaters now

Dont they give a name from what you got to remove and share that here?

This thread LITERALLY makes it clear that Discsoft Softwares like Daemon Tools are the problem and you're still here acting like people are using Cheat Softwares.

Maybe learn to read?
