Fix: Apex Legends Crashing Without Error

Apex Legends is a free to play battle royale that was developed by Electronic Arts and published by Respawn entertainment. The game was released in the February of 2019 and instantly became a huge sensation among the gaming community. However, quite recently a lot of reports have been coming in of users who are unable to play the game because it crashes whenever launched. The game does not display any error message and just fails to launch.

What Causes Apex Legends to Crash?

We investigated the problem after it was brought to our attention by numerous users and devised a set of solutions which solved the issue for most of the users. Also, we looked into the reasons due to which this problem was being triggered and they are listed below.

• Easy Anti-Cheat Service: Most online games use the Easy AntiCheat Service in order to prevent players from using hacks or modifications to the game. The service scans the computer for any running applications and if a suspicious application is running the game does not launch. Also, if the Easy AntiCheat Service is corrupted or damaged the game does not launch because it requires verification from the service.
• Missing Files: In some cases, certain files of the game can go missing or corrupt. The game requires all of its files to be present and intact even if one file is missing or has gone corrupt the game might face issues during the launching process.
• Graphics Card Drivers: If the graphics card drivers installed on the system are old or have not been updates it can cause issues with the game. The game was released quite recently and is known to cause issues with older graphics cards and drivers.
• Overclock: In some cases, if the graphics card is running at a frequency greater than the factory settings for the base clock frequency the game might face issues with the launching process. Overclocking may cause temperature spikes and in some cases, the process can even interfere with certain elements of the game.
• Missing/Corrupted System Files: If important Windows files are missing or have been corrupted the game will not launch properly and crash during the process. The game requires all of the necessary system files to be present in order to function correctly.

Now that you have a basic understanding of the nature of the problem we will move on towards the solutions. It is recommended for you to implement these solutions in the specific order they are presented in.

Solution 2: Verifying Game Files

In some cases, certain files of the game can go missing or corrupt. The game requires all of its files to be present and intact even if one file is missing or has gone corrupt the game might face issues during the launching process.

Overclocking may cause temperature spikes and in some cases, the process can even interfere with certain elements of the game. Therefore, it is recommended that you remove the overclock from your graphics card and make sure that it is running at the factory “Base Clock Frequency” and “Memory Clock Frequency“.
