Error reading pak file "Short read/Engine error"

[lnfirmis]

So i'm trying to play Apex.
I launch the game and click to continue.
Then the game crashes and goes black.

"Engine error
Error reading pak file"

I cannot find the "Respawn" file anywhere.
I reinstalled it, logged in logged out.
Deleted apex from my files.
Shut down my computer.

Yet it still happens

If anyone has/had the same problem please tell me how to fix it.
And again i cannot find the "Respawn" file in my files so don't tell me to delete that.

Hey, @lnfirmis make sure that all drivers for windows are up to date, also worth to reinstall the GPU drivers for your PC.

You can also try to do a clean boot to see if there any programs messing with APEX and turn off any overlay programs for example Discord or Nvidia experience.

Can you add a Dxdiag so we can see what hardware and drivers you have? 

Let me know if this works or not for you.
