Error Code: 30005 (CreateFile failed with 32.) [ Edited ]

[ippig]

Sometimes I have the error code 30005 which tells me that CreateFile failed with 32 when I want to start the game and it won't start. Usually a pc reboot fixes it but it's occurs more often lately.

Hey @ippig,

I found another Thread that might assist you with this:

Have you tried making sure your Graphics Drivers are up to date, or doing a clean uninstall/reinstall of the latest Drivers?

You can do so here: https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

Let us know if you still need help.

Hello everyone,

I solved it right now by excluding these paths: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Apex Legends" and "C:\Users\<yourUsername>\AppData\Roaming\EasyAntiCheat"

from Windows defender virus scan.

You can replace the first one with your game.
