Bad Image -- nvapi.dll errors

[mag_sg_r6]

Hey, so,

I'm having troubles getting apex to run properly.

Every time i try to run apex, i get r5apex.exe - Bad Image error, saying that:  C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\nvapi64.dll was either not designed to run on windows or it contains an error.

I have NVidia GeForce 1080 graphics card, i have the latest drivers installed

I ran sfc /scannow -- Reported no errors

I ran DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth, then sfc /scannow -- Reported no errors

Dont know what to do.

Thanks for your help

@mag_sg_r6 i think its worth giving DDU uninstall a try.. download the app run it in windows safe mode, uninstall all nvidia drivers, restart pc then install the latest ones

Fairly sure that file is associated with your NVIDIA GPU.

Run your video driver setup again, this time choose Advanced install and then choose Clean Install.

Retry playing and post again with the details if you continue to see an issue, thanks.
