Tibbers Magical Alternate Guide To Helping Your PC (つ◕౪◕)つ━☆ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ

[The_Tibber]

Hello and welcome to my guide!

At this point ill assume you have followed this awesome guide here by David: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Easy-Anti-Cheat-troubleshooting-steps/td-p/7437695

This guide with be a two parter, one will be a system driver update that windows update does not do by default and the second part is deep clean uninstall of Origin, Apex Legends and EasyAntiCheat or E.A.C.

System Driver Update

This guide will also be for Laptops as well, because the method is very similar.
Motherboards have a set of drivers for each of the components on the board, and updating them will come from the manufacturer of the board not Windows.
The same goes for laptops.

Lets begin with finding the model of your motherboard/laptop.
Press the Win key, type cmd and open the command prompt.
Copy this into the command prompt window: wmic baseboard get product,Manufacturer,version,serialnumber
You will see something like this:

Under Manufacturer will be the name of your board's/Laptop's Manufacturer name and under Product will be the model number/name.

Now open your web browser and google the manufacturer name to find their website, once in look for the sections of the website that say "Support" "Service" "Drivers" or "Downloads".
Once their you can search for your motherboard or laptop model number/name where you will find the drivers for your PC.
At this point you can download all the drivers you need to update for your system, if you know how to update your BIOS then check if that needs updating as well.
Note:You can ignore manuals, compatibility lists, and software as they are not needed.
Once downloaded install each driver one at a time following the prompts and restart the PC if your system requests it.
Now that you have installed the latest drivers you are now up to date! :D

Note: Drivers are all about compatibility and optimization, in very rare cases old devices may not be compatible with devices that have the latest drivers but are compatible with the older versions of the driver. (dont ask me why thats just how the cookie crumbles)

Deep Clean Uninstall

Uninstallers never remove 100% of whats installed and may cause issues if a file became corrupt through download or in some other way, so ill guide you through removing everything.

First unistall Origin and Apex like you would do with any other program (if the option to uninstall EasyAntiCheat is there uninstall it).
Now go to This PC in windows and right click the C: drive.
Click properties, then disk clean up and follow the prompts to removing temp files.

Next you need to navigate to C:\ProgramData and delete the following folders:
(Electronic Arts) (Origin)

Then C:\Program Files (x86) and delete:
(EasyAntiCheat)

Then here C:\Users\(PC UserName)\AppData\Roaming and delete:
(EasyAntiCheat)

This will be the location of your saved files if you save them locally instead of using the cloud. Deleting this may reset some settings if you do not store your saved files in the cloud!
C:\Users\(PC User Name)\Saved Games\ delete this:
(Respawn)

Once done you install Origin, E.A.C. and Apex legends from scratch.
