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

★ Pro
  • 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

Finding this solution that works took me about six hours of trial and pain, I hope someone can now enjoy the game

 

 

Before I tried alot of other methods like repairing Easy Anti Cheat, Reinstalling the game, repairing the game ALL DID NOT WORK

 

BYE NOW

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.

Mess up your system? People are formatting their windows to play this game.. Obviously you can leave it or take it..

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.

You shouldn't do this. I did that trying to fix Apex errors, cause somebody told me that, didn't work for me, didn't reinstall one of redistributables which messed up my graphic card update I performed right after that, which resulted in 2h of fixing, making multiple clean installs and getting various errors. There are more visual c++ redists than in origin folder and things can depend on those.

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 Frown

Thing is, I have other games that may depend on that VC version installed. Not gonna risk it.
