Apex Legends Anti-Cheat error gdiplus.dll not trusted [ Edited ]

[Biskweet]

Hi there,

I have a big problem with Apex Legends.

When I start it, I have a first error message :

"r5apex.exe - Application error : The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142)."

and another one when I close the first

"Easy Anti-Cheat : Untrusted system file (C:\...\GdiPlus.dll)"

I've already tried the sfc /scannow and all the repairs commands I found on Internet. Also checked the Cryptographic Service. Did a Malwarebytes + Kaspersky scan.

I had no problem before my formatting my HDD (done it one month ago but reinstalled Apex yesterday). I have no Windows update. I updated my driver. 

Help me please!

i would really love it if you were to fix this * problem of easy anti cheat not trusting one or other necessary file on my pc.

i took a break from this game so i could focus more on my studies and now when all my tension for my exams is over,you tell me i cant * run this game.

it's been 2 days since this * thing has been happening . i was really excited for this * "season 1" or whatever it is.

Could be some malware.. Try a scan with malwarebytes anti rootkit and after it's done run cmd as administrator and enter sfc /scannow.. Restart pc

Hey @Biskweet 

Have you already a Registery cleaner with Ccleaner ?

I have seen this fixing sometimes the issue.

Make sure Origin is set as Exception in your firewall / Anti Virus.

Yup yup (actually not with CCleaner but with Glary Utilities ( which is pretty much the same thing)). Didn't work. I'm desperate.

Any other solutions, please ?

Hey @Biskweet 

Might deleting and reinstalling EAC is worth a shot.

Open your file browser and click your location bar.
Now type the following loctions in and delete the files mentioned:

• C:\Program Files (x86) and delete - EasyAntiCheat
• C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Apex and delete - EasyAntiCheat - EasyAntiCheat_launcher.exe - EasyAntiCheat_x64.dll
• C:\Users\(User)\AppData\Roaming and delete - EasyAntiCheat
• C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Apex\__Installer\customcomponent - EasyAntiCheat

Now restart your system, open Origin and Repair Apex Legends
(please note you have to repair all game that use Easy Anti cheat.)

Hi! Thanks for answering. I'll try it as soon I'm home, but I don't believe it will work. The problem is the GdiPlus.dll file located in my Windows directory which should not be there (or which is corrupted). I'll try it though, stay tuned.
