Game Security Violation (#00000018h)

[KatranaPrestor]

I was able to play before my origin went offline and so I restart my PC and re-login to origin,

then got this from the Easy Anti-Cheat checking stage when launching the game from origin. 

Anyone having the same issue?

oh and just something I didnt mention, I have checked some other posts and failed to find people with the same code, restart my computer & tried origin game repair, and its still not working. I have never download or use a hacking software in apex/other games.

Yeah but i have theproblem for The Cycle in the Epic Games Launcher.

Reinstalled Anti Cheat also didn't helped......

Hy,

Yesterday (July 17th) i played Apex without any Problems.One day later i try to start the game and i always get the error Game Security Violation (#00000018h).  I did nothing between the 2 game sessions of friday and saturday. Anybody know a solution to this?

Thx

Exact same error for me. I haven't played for about a week and now I can't launch the game anymore... at all.

@dnlldl Hello, may i know if you run any 3rd party softwares?

[dnlldl]

@EzyHawk Please define 3rd party software. Is the operating system (Windows 10 in this case) considered to be a 3rd party software?

I do have Steam, Epic Games, BsgLauncher, Gif your Game, Discord, Geforce Experience and a bunch of other "3rd party softwares" on my computer. I stopped all of them however and that doesn't make any difference. Is there some sort of game log where I could get more details about what's causing the issue exactly? That would help tremendously. The file apex_crash.txt is a couple of months old, so it's not getting updated by this specific "game security violation" error.

Also note that I'm on W10 1909 right now.

Hey @hutzelbart93. 

It sounds like that error is coming from Easy Anti-Cheat. Are you currently running any sort of LED management software on your PC? If so, can you try disabling it to see if that helps? I've seen some cases where EAC is getting hung up because of lighting programs.
