Apex Legends not booting/launching/starting

[OakenBole]

I have virtually tried everything I could come across. But the final fix for me was the following:

- Close Origin software
- Open Task Manager and close all Origin related services
- Go to Origin Games > Apex > and right click "r5apex.exe" and then select "Run as administrator"

All of a sudden it booted. Give it a try.

sry but the game runs fine, exception is the networking issues - EA side.

Most likely the problem is the "thing" behind your keyboard.

Hi

Try allowing Origin.exe and r5apex.exe through your Windows Firewall.
