How To Fix Apex Legend won't start or launch or open after EasyAntiCheat loading splash screen

Hi, Welcome back to the lovely blog!. Windows 11 was came out in late June on the windows insider dev channel for the first time, and now we almost reach for the official release in the October 5. And for us who has tasted the windows 11 in the earlier build definitely facing the problem tho, like annoying taskbar, start or search not working properly, or maybe the program won't launch or not compatible with the OS including video games, like Valorant there must enabling TPM 2.0 warning to play these game and Apex Legend won't launch after EasyAntiCheat loading screen.

In the late August the new build of windows 11 insider preview was coming out which is 22000.168 build version, and when i done updating my windows and went to start playing apex legend to chill out in evening, so when i clicked the game icon and EasyAntiCheat loading was done the game didn't launch and i decide to check Task Manager and start clicking the game again and the result r5apex.exe has ended by itself. Before i start googling the problem, here method what i try:

• Verify Integrity File
• switch to origin (so i redownloaded the game)
• update my GPU driver (i thought my AMD card must using the new version driver so i decide to update it)
• Switch it language (english to another)
• close and end all process of origin and try launch apex legend by it self without the launcher

And it's not give me the solution, the game still won't open nor launch after the EasyAntiCheat loading screen, and then when i check the google with keyword "Apex Legend won't open after EasyAntiCheat windows 11" there is someone had the problem same and earlier than me. He posted on July in the Reddit and EA COMUNITY  and when he had the problem on that day, i still playing apex and fortnite without any issue until i got the same problem when i updating to 22000.168 and upgrade my GPU to RX 580 with 2.8.1 driver installed on my system.

And now i already fixed the problem, what i do is :

1. I remember when i visit the AMD support website on the driver download page, there is no WHQL labeled on there for 2.8.1 and 2.8.2 driver. so i run dxdiag to make sure my system is WHQL certified or not. And the result surprising me, there is WHQL logo'd : no and give me some error log or note. (I personally using AMD mod driver from NimeZ in Guru3D forum which is their tweaked the driver become WHQL ready for the latest driver, so that's why i had to check my WHQL status and yeah the update broke my WHQL status for sure)
2. I boot up my pc to the safe mode and start DDU to clean and uninstalling my previous driver on the system.

3. After the reboot done, i start installing the same driver which is 2.8.1. And after installation is done, i try to run apex legend again and the game was launch i got the lobby and start 1 match and its fine now.

Until the next update is coming which is 2249 for the dev channel and 22000.176 beta channel, and i prefer to switch to beta because if i stay on dev it become different experience from the windows 11 that releasing in 5th October 2021, and the game still run fine without any problem but sometimes EAC do wrong and make the game stuck in loading after the match when we go to lobby, in this problem you just need to repair EAC with run the setup and choose the game to be repaired, but for fortnite still running fine without any issues even your GPU driver not WHQL (for my case).

So, this is my experience for installing the beta OS on main rig. don't be lazy if u installing the beta OS on your main rig, keep doing the research until it fixed or must revert back to the previous OS which is stable. Hope this help you all to fix the Apex Legend won't start or launch or open after EasyAntiCheat loading splash screen, leave the comment if any questing. Let's discuss together, and see you in the next article.
