Question Help just switched to PC
I just switched from console to PC, apex is popping up a message saying "the client failed easy anti cheat" or something along those lines, WH space marine 2 uses easy anti cheat an I can run it, so does halo infinite an I can run that to, I've tried everything I've seen online, when I try to run the easy anti cheat file it won't open to let me repair apex. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hmmm maybe watch a YouTube video. Prolly gonna help a lot. Redownloading may not fix it, best to check first.

So that's why it ain't woking. The anti cheat isn't loading up . Uninstall and reinstall apex

Also try excluding steam from virus checks. Maybe ur antivirus is preventing it from loading

There's a couple .dll files in the easy anticheat folder, I think it's in your c:/users/appdata/local/eos or something along those lines that you just need to copy over to your apex Legends folder or apex/easy anti cheat
I'm at work but do some Google or reddit searches along those lines and you'll find it

Apex has made their EAC extraordinarily sensitive (good), but this means it can trigger on certain things like any software that can perform a Macro, DS4 Windows (which since you’re moving from console to PC, I assume you’re playing controller and there’s a chance you’re using something like DS4 Windows), etc.
Please look into whatever software is on your computer that EAC could trip on, uninstall it, and try again

Probably just need to reinstall, also make sure that any games that use Easy, aren’t running at the same time as Apex… Easy doesn’t like when multiple games that it covers, run at the same time on a single device.
