How to make Apex Legends WORK (if you're game is not starting up)

Your advice is desperate!

!! I DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE DO THIS !!

• Remove all Visual C++ versions from your computer (IO bit free uninstaller recommended but not necessary)
• Restart your computer
• Go to:C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin
• Install ONLY the versions that are in that map: vcredist_x64, vcredist_x64_vs2010, vcredist_x64_vs2015, vcredist_x86, vcredist_x86_vs2010, vcredist_x86_vs2015
• Restart your computer
• Launch the Game from Origin and make sure FULLSCREEN mode is used

Warning: Don't do it !!

If you use software that works well, then the above will mess with your system.

Very bad advice just to play a game. Do not remove VC just to get this game to work. The problem is with EA and not your system.

Please read my posts for clarification.

DONT DO THIS 

Visual C++ is not somthing you remove at all 

yeah some people went far beyond this lol , busides it was easy to do as well , makes logical sense as well might have had a game that installed a diffrent version in the past and creates conflict , either way i will keep u updated if this works , sadly in my experiance i need to play around 10min-8hours to get the crash it is incredibly random sometimes every game sometimes np really hopeing this works man

I do believe you could be a touch more responsible with your posts Bluelagoon2018

Your advice is BAD full STOP .

If people are formatting drives to play this game then they have nothing better to do with there computers, your * advice just makes the world more convoluted than it needs to be.

Stop posting nonsense and stop asking me to explain myself.

I think YOU should leave it.

Your done here and reported.

bt119be , not sure what your problem is man , but uninstalling and reinstalling programs in windows is normal c++ included , i cant tell if your a troll or just incredibly uneducated on pc's , if you have nothing to add leave us be. some people actualy try to find solutions

ChromaticChimera attempting any fix on your own = risk if you do anything wrong , same thing for devs , you clearly took the risk for an unoficial fix didnt do it right and paid the price , you even point out it was your fault , i did this i had no problems uninstalling and reinstalling is the most basic of basic things you can do , this is not even close to windows/game breaking like that man was making it out to be , if anything i would be surprised if this is all i need for a fix to easy ☹️

Try to delete this folder C:\Users\YourName\Saved Games\Respawn

this will delete local save save which can causing profile loading  issue

Make sure that this folder is not set to READONLY when it recreate after game relaunch

add "-quickstart" command [without " "] in game properties [Origin -> Click on Apex in your game library and then rack icon]

That operation helped me bing back to the game

Cheers

EDIT:

Sorry , I wrote incomplete sentence ,so

you should try to delete this folder first [C:\Users\YourName\Saved Games\Respawn],then launch game and  then  uncheck Read Only [folders will recreate after game relaunch --> just launch game one more time]

If it doesn't work then You should try Repair the game in Origin , run as Administrator or add "-quickstart" command [without " "] in game properties [Origin -> Click on Apex in your game library and then rack icon]

First i deleted that folder C:\Users\YourName\Saved Games\Respawn

then i added that -quickstart command in game properties then I launched game and then i unchecked Read Only in recreated folder properties [it will change back to read only itself ,so I just leaved these tabs open on desktop [ Respawn & Apex & local ]with unchecked Read Only ]

That's it , It worked for me when i launched the game second time , because at the first time it get stuck at black screen with that red Gif thing in right down corner
