Engine Error "pak"

★★★ Newbie

I downloaded Apex on Steam and every time I try to open it, it gets past the continue page, shows a breif moment of the lobby page, and then crashes with the error code: Engine Error. Error reading pak file "C: Users/(my name)SAVEDG-1/Respawn/Apex/assets/11/promo/dl_prom0_2021_05_18.rpax" --Error 0x00000026

 

I tried some fixes I found online but none have worked. Here are the fixes I tried already with no luck:

 

Uninstall and reinstall

Repairing the game file on Steam

Renaming the file specified in the error code

Restarting my PC

Deleting the file in the code and repairing

Reinstalled my graphics drivers

Made sure there was no Windows update (sometimes that will mess with my games)

 

I even deleted the game on Steam and installed the Origin version and it still crashed and gave me the same error message

 

If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know!

Hi @Sallietur


Do you have Apex Legends installed on your C drive, or is it saved to a different drive?
