I'm having this problem too now. I've relaunched steam multiple times, the game finally updated after several days. I verified the integrity of the files. The game is still stuck in "running" and the only way I can get rid of it is if I close steam.

@IAteBigFloppa This thread is severely outdated, the issue you're experiencing at the moment is most likely different than the one mentioned in this thread.
I recommend making your own thread or participating in one of the newer threads.
Please avoid necroposting in the future as it can cause a lot of confusion.

I came here from the apex reddit and people say is affecting other games that use EAC.
For me apex will close (no process in Task Manager) after around 2 minutes.
