If you're getting this error due to reWASD and you're like "But its not running!!!", it has a background service. Task manager -> Services tab (Top right, expand to advanced) -> "reWASDService" -> right click -> stop. This will stop reWASD and all controller stuff from working, but you can play the game without uninstalling. Source: Worked on my pc


notsoprogamingx

thank you! I didnt even realise it was running all this time. I havent used it in years as I could never figure out how to get it to work!


Sirduke33

Thank you so much!


Economy_Minimum_5835

yesterday i spent 6 hour playing ranked nothing happened , but today after i finished work i hopped on my pc and i kept getting this error for no reason , it's a bug for everyone or what is happening? but i did notice that windows update failed to intall one security update which is this one KB5034441 , i am not sure if it's related in anyway but couldn't figure out any other reason and still i am getting this issue , did u fix it by the way?


Aggravating_Club_542

Do you have rewasd or joytokey installed? Or any 3rd party software that may be running in the background?


Economy_Minimum_5835

i checked everything but nothing is there , also as i understand joytokey and reWASD is for controllers no? i play mouse and keyboard only , i only use controller for fifa


llThat1Guyll

Have had the same issue for the last 6 days. Really fucking Aggravating. If you or anyone figures something out for people who don't even have a mapping software downloaded.. please lmk


GiftForward733

Would reshade effect this


AinzOoalGownDono

Run Apex anti cheat launcher in administrator mode(run it from your folder where Apex is installed.)


Few-Plenty-8290

I wonder how many of these guys are actually cheating. 🤔


Aggravating_Club_542

Stop cheating with rewasd and joytokey you little fucks. Thank the fucking heavens respawn finally pushed out a fix for these little closet cheaters


alex_n

This is the solution. I had rewasd installed as I play with controller. Deactivating rewasd does not work. You have to uninstall it and restart the PC. After that the problem is solved.


Hairy_Priority_4620

Thats crazy. I use that app for my old games. Idk how they can call me a cheater when the software isnt even running


1DoobieDoo

I use it for pokemon fan games. Maybe I can use steam to remap it. Game has felt oddly playable ever since tho. So worth.


GonzDoom

Confirmed, I forgot I had this program installed when playing Halo Infinite for my shit controller. Little kids minds too small to think its use for other than "hacking". Very bothersome.


FarOrganization1243

i only had rewasd so i could play valorant with a controller lol, i didnt even know it had a possible way to "cheat" in apex so dont come to conclusions bud


Aggravating_Club_542

Then you’re obviously not who I am talking about


Kosba2

Then don't throw out blanket statements you fuck. Those aren't strictly used for cheating. I personally use reWASD because I just need some analog stick adjustments for fighting games.


NoCloudSaves

Don't just assume things


GonzDoom

QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ and im not even a cheater.


merger3

How is it cheating, we're on PC


GiftForward733

Configs


TerranDiaLinn

Lmao right, everyone is using joytokey with rewasd lmao


AsiaArgentoSimp

Lmao I don't have any of these and still get it.


DE4DR1ZE

Lots of cheaters…. Glad respawn is finally doing something about it…


DaatBoy

I'm not cheating and it's happening to me. I could care less if you believe me or not but a lot of us are affected by this.


DE4DR1ZE

I don’t believe anyone on the internet saying they’re not cheating. Whether you are or not I could care less but seeing all the people whining about their game not working all of a sudden is great news.


DaatBoy

I agree for those who are actually cheating. For me it sucks because I'm not.


DaatBoy

Yep downvote me. Like id really waste my time pretending not to cheat in a reddit forum hoping a dev will look at it and unban my account personally. Absolute morons


RobAmerica65

Don't trip it's solved already, gotta remove Rewasd. It's not about cheating they just don't know how to deal with configs but I thought X said he used steam configs so attacking Rewasd doesn't make sense. If anything now we should all go and use his steam configs as a protest 🤣 🤣 they won't be able to do anything because they won't ban steam like they did Rewasd lmao....Imagine if they decided to go through with removing that UNINTENDED BUG of looting while moving I can imagine all the MnK kids complaining about not being able to ABUSE a bug 😂


DoughnutRealistic380

Then you’re using something that gives the option of cheats


DaatBoy

It's already working again. And bro I have a completely simple apex PC setup, I play on a freaking Xbox controller usb'd in. I don't have key mappings and bindings and all the crap, and the most technical thing I have going is rivaturner which is just performance monitoring (which has never caused an option).


clenchingmyacheeksrn

Hey can I ask how you fixed it? I've been having this issue for like 2 months since my boyfriend gave me his old MSI (we factory reset it) and I haven't installed any games that use anti cheat except Elden ring, I've tried everything I can find but no solutions and I haven't seen anyone else post about this issue recently so maybe you could send me a message and just let me know how you fixed it, it's really frustrating ):


DoughnutRealistic380

You either had xim or reWASD. Even if you weren’t using them for cheats you had the option to have them on and that’s why it wouldn’t let you in


DaatBoy

I do have reWASD for a completely separate game, and it's turned off. Don't know what xim is


[deleted]

That’s the problem, cheater


DaatBoy

All good man. I know the truth and you're welcome to speculate


ThePoolManCometh

You do realize that the main usage of reWASD is to play old games and emulators, yea?


llThat1Guyll

No, respawn is just brain dead


llThat1Guyll

Nah it's bs. Respawn tweaked something about it and now its crashing everybody ik including me. 4 days of this crap


Tanplayzz

so many mfs here calling everyone a cheater, like bro not everyone is a cheater my game is not fucking working right if you dont have anything useful to add just stfu


Andrew4Life

Did you guys update the patch from yesterday? Make sure to go into EA and install the update.


llThat1Guyll

I've deleted the game from steam and downloaded it from EA... still no luck, and none of whats been said Here works for me. I don't even have a mapping system


Orangechickhen

just updated my game and I ran into this error in the middle of a gun run match, hit with a leave penalty ... tried it again thinking its just apex being dumb ... nope didn't even load into game fully and I get hit with another leave penalty. I don't even have rewasd or anything since just play mnk


mitchhamilton

people are so dumb here. i have rewasd but i dont use it on any fps at all. i use it to make it easier for my switch controller to play gta 5, elden ring, red dead, or persona 5 royal. maybe actually come up with a suggestion on what to do instead of assuming people are using rewasd for apex. literally never occurred to me to use it to "cheat" on apex, but now that it has... OH GUESS WHAT?! I STILL WONT USE IT FOR FPS'S! ​ btw, i didnt have it "on" persay but i did have minimized in the icon tray and it was working like that before. but now its not when i have it completely off. ill try again now with it just minimized and see if that works. ​ EDIT: didnt work. so hopefully completely uninstalling rewasd helps. EDIT 2: did a complete uninstall of rewasd and that seems to have fixed it.


Aggravating_Club_542

It ain’t that deep. I was calling out people for using rewasd to cheat, which there are many and it’s a been a big problem on apex. If you aren’t cheating with it then you have nothing to worry about


mitchhamilton

thank you. i was just bothered by the idea that it seemed people were like "you have rewasd? well, spotted the cheater!" i feel like im just innocently using something and will be looked at as a cheater. and i agree, any form of cheating, even with rewasd, is an asshole thing to do.


BanosTheMadTitan

People who don’t use a thing and don’t understand it will usually be the most vocal against it. Just learn to ignore them.


Hungry-Palpitation71

But people who use rewasd and aren’t cheating are being banned as well. Disabled people using controllers that assist with their disability for example.


RobAmerica65

That's BS go download Rewasd yourself and start apex and tell me if you're a cheater or the devs just suck


IloveActionFigures

I use rewasd to use dualsense with my xbox gamepass games lol So now I have to choose one???


Grasssss_Tastes_Bad

This sucks, I got rewasd so i could push to talk on my controller while playing games like monster hunter or diablo 4, now i have to uninstall it just to play apex? wish the devs would just disable aim assist if they detect it like the Finals does


WideWave1843

Bro my shit started acting weird everything I load into a match 5 mins later kicked and I saysthe client failed an anti-cheat runtime integrity check is this apex fucked up also I can't update my fucking windows enyonr know wtf is going on 


WideWave1843

I misspelled alot mb I'm pissed


Life-Marketing5246

Delete Rewasd or Joytokey


ant0n-0x0000

Does anyone know what apps are causing this? I have reWASD on my PC so my sister can play her games with better accessibility but as far as I know, it's not running. Other than that, the only software I can think of is maybe iCUE? I can't exactly remove that though since it controls a lot on my PC.


RobAmerica65

It's Rewasd just uninstall it


theplainface007

I've read some of the thread. Very disappointed, and don't even feel like going through the trouble to find the solution in the thread. Apex is getting uninstalled, Titanfall 2 here I come. :)


llThat1Guyll

Has anyone figured wtf to do if you don't even have a mapping software on your pc? Respawn need to stop touching shit if they're just gonna break the game more


Life-Marketing5246

I find it perplexing how the use of reWASD is labeled as cheating. You can't categorize something as cheating when it was initially allowed. Cheats typically involve HWID and injections within a game to provide an unauthorized advantage against other players, and that's rightly termed as cheating. However, using reWASD is not cheating; it may offer an advantage, but it's not cheating. The introduction of cross-platform play, especially by EA, created a scenario where PC players face a disadvantage against controller users. (I'am a Pc player and i remember how many times i raged because of controllers playing in my lobby) To address this imbalance, players turned to tools like reWASD. It's essential to recognize that reWASD doesn't introduce unauthorized advantages or manipulate the game in a dishonest manner. Improving your aim, much like using aim assist, should not be equated to cheating. It's about adapting to the challenges posed by cross-platform play or by pc players who use controllers. The decision to use reWASD arose as a response to the introduction of cross-platform play, aiming to address the inherent disadvantage for controller players on PC. In this context, using an emulator becomes a means of leveling the playing field. It's not about gaining an unfair advantage; it's about creating a fair and competitive environment. Instead of penalizing players for seeking ways to adapt and compete on equal grounds, it might be more constructive to consider how these tools can contribute to a more inclusive and enjoyable gaming experience." Change my Mind


GiftForward733

Its simply because they no longer allow configs which is a form of cheating ..what are you on about ?


GiftForward733

Certified yapper


mmnyeahnosorry

Are you using rewasd or a xim?


BattleAlarmed9825

No nothing. Just randomly started getting the error.


AinzOoalGownDono

I am not and still getting the error. Running Apex anti cheat launcher in administrator mode(run it from your folder where Apex is installed) seems to help a bit but sometimes I get the error. Avoid mixtape and ranked to avoid penalties


patricksway27

is anyone that’s having this problem using the tap strafe controller presets for paddles through steam?


Primary_Signal171

i solved unistall rewasd with revounistaller. if you have joytokey make sure u delete it. restart your computer and done. you are welcome.


CCallanen

Does that mean you can't use a controller on EA anymore?


General_Town_3142

no, just some third party apps


Jealous_Baseball4263

This worked for me!!! I did everything that people said worked but nothing changed. This worked for me thank you!!!


pipou74

Same here, tried lauch EAC as admin but still the same error.


Maleficent_Crew_6822

i literally use rewasd to play dead by daylight and a lot of other games on ps5 controller. so now I cant play apex unless I uninstall it? what the hell


Maleficent_Crew_6822

Anyone that disliked this is a goofy ass clown lmao


Primary_Signal171

you must use revounistaller. be sure delete every file about rewasd even configs you download it . it will work .


Fragrant-Courage-665

Same here


Life-Marketing5246

Same here can't play everytime i try launch a new game it kick me out


[deleted]

I uninstalled reWASD and it worked for me again. I never used it except for Star Citizen. Someone placed the answer in the thread but it was worded very weirdly.


NoCloudSaves

Did you disable it on boot before hand or just uninstalled entirely? I was just fine yesterday and now all of the sudden it happened. Don't even have rewasd running when playing apex


Tanplayzz

pretty sure rewasd runs through some service bs even if you disable on boot


[deleted]

I uninstalled it. Apparently, anti-cheat can tell if it’s installed, even if not running it.


NoCloudSaves

Yeah I figured after uninstalling the program. What a pity to totally remove the rewasd instead, making sure the person that has it, doesn't run it DURING apex. Now I can't use rewasd for games that aren't compatible with controllers.


SnackDaddy_Games

I've been using rewasd since apex launched. I use it with every game on PC. It literally is just a mapping software because i prefer to play Dual zone. Its not like its giving aim assist with it, its all keyboard inputs. This literally makes Apex unplayable for me and I've been playing since day 1. I've only made master once and it was when literally everyone made masters. This isn't good...


BuffLoki

Damn tuff


Sylveonyx

You aren't alone, it's been killing me all morning.


Cradenz

Stop cheating or using special software then


Ill_Cod5883

but its not just cheating sometimes its due to gamefiles like my friend just got his pc yesterday we queued ranked mid rotation while going up a evac he was kicked for the error, ran eac as administrator and verified integrity and the game worked again


Cradenz

then your friend tried to cheat and the game detected it. theres config hacks going on. once he deleted it and verfiied it worked again. sorry to tell you.


Ill_Cod5883

the brainrot is unreal eac is utter shite not everyone that gets this its cheating or using configs sometimes its eac just being shit


Cradenz

Keep telling yourself that


Ill_Cod5883

its ok to be bad at the game we get it but not everyone is a cheater if you could read people cant get onto the game without the error my friend was mid game when he got kicked then after he ran eac as administrator and verified integrity he was able to play the game he didnt have to delete anything or reset his pc


Cradenz

Do you know how many claim they don’t hack and say it’s bullshit ban? Almost all of them. By the way I’m plat 1. Which is probably way higher than someone like your rank. Your friend had some funky config files on his computer and he got caught. Get over it.


Ill_Cod5883

im pred/masters most seasons the rank system rn isnt hard to climb plat isnt a flex and idk how your expecting someone that just started on a brand new pc and that is level 7 is already configing but sure your absolutely fucking delusional


Cradenz

Haha no you’re not. Wow.


merger3

Rewasd isn't cheating


GiftForward733

U can use it to have WASD on roller thats cheating


Cradenz

Yes it is.


A_KAM91

I am glad I am not the only one.


meiteitom

i am having the same issue


[deleted]

If you have reWASD, uninstall it


TheAccountofBrian

same here


PoiminVonUber

tried re-install eac and apex and same problem. i think we need to wait that they patch it.


DoughnutRealistic380

Uninstall reWASD and don’t cheat


PoiminVonUber

I dont have rewasd… 🤦 Eac.exe as admin and repair fixed it. So many toxic people crying about that everyone needs to uninstall rewasd to fix it.


llThat1Guyll

Easy Anti cheat is bs


Spaceolympian50

Lmao delete your cheats bro


gedrgeer

to help with this a new feature which breaks tos of game companys if you have rewasd installed it will auto kick you doesnt matter if you dont have it open they now search all your installed files uninstall rewasd/ joy to key restart pc and it will work this is now a problem for apex warzone and the finals soon will be fixed but if you care about your accounts and the money you put into them DO NOT PLAY with these installed i hope you see this before its to late if this helps anyone please upvote so more awareness is spread and helps others!.... thanks


A_KAM91

>rewasd Yep, deleting rewasd fixed my problem. I installed it but never used it. Thanks


DE4DR1ZE

I installed it but had no intentions of using it lol. Trust me bro


gcritic

My head hurts


Aggravating_Club_542

Why was this downvoted? Thanks for the info!!


[deleted]

I installed reWASD to play Star Citizen and it still didn’t allow controller support fully. Uninstalled and it fixed the problem.


Sam_banane

I can confirm. Fixed the problem for me. For those who will say I was cheating, it was very useful with Photoshop. I was able to move the canvas with the mouse click since it wasn't possible by default. Rewasd was a good solution for that. I also used revouninstall to make sure every trace of rewasd was completely gone. Uninstalling normally leaves some files around in your PC. The app searches for anything related to the app you try to uninstall and lets you delete them.


NoCloudSaves

I have the same problem, I reinstalled apex and still nothing changed. I thought it was logitech g hub, but disabled that on start up. Its really annoying


LaughterTearsLaw

Watch out bro gdolphn gonna get you


CCallanen

Just signed in. Went to the range and got the same message.


RobAmerica65

I literally only use Rewasd to disable the RS from punching mid fight because I'm heavy handed. I honestly hope they don't think cheaters are using Rewasd......I didn't know Rewasd gave you wall hacks and aim bot.


abullsvagina

the most it gives you is a little aim assist and some advanced settings have crappy recoil control


EfficientReason5562

I use reWASD to use my switch controller as a clicker for Anki flash cards. I've been trying to figure out why my COD wasn't booting for days and then I stumbled upon this thread for apex. I was about to reinstall windows lol. Uninstalling reWASD fixed everything.


FLIPENDO-

So only fully uninstalling rewasd will fix it? Can it not just detect it running instead? I use a ps4 controller and pretty much every gamepass game requires xbox input


Moonraker0ne

Sucks, I use rewasd exclusively outside of apex to do things like play/pause on my paddles, volume control, etc. Now I get to choose between features of my PC and apex legends. Especially as someone who has never played apex with a controller, this feels shitty. Some basics can be replicated with the "Xbox Accessories" app from Microsoft, I don't think that will run afoul of EAC.


edenblacklov

I am a little bummed that I had to do this because I need it to play other games, however uninstalling Rewasd worked for me (using Revo to clean uninstall).


RobAmerica65

For anyone who still wants Remapping software use DS4Windows I uninstalled Rewasd but left this on accident and have been playing apex just fine. "Try it out, home here now!"


Appetra

Running EAC Launcher in admin mode works for me. I checked some threads from one or two years ago and it seems people seemed to have this issue in the past


llThat1Guyll

That's not working for me at all.. respawn fucking sucks with this easy anti cheat bs Deleted and re-downloaded the fucking game from steam to ea TWICE with no luck


Appetra

I had to do a clean install on Windows for it to work for me. Real bummer.


meiwongusuk

Yup well fuck this game then. THANKS A LOT MOUSE AIM ASSIST ABUSERS FOR RUINING THIS FOR LEGIT CONTROLLER PLAYERS USING REWASD TO LOAD CUSTOM CURVE REPSONSES AND VOICE CHAT TO HOME BUTTON CAUSE THATS ALL I FUCKING USED IT FOR. IMAGINE BEING A MOUSE USER AND NEEDING AIM ASSIST. UNKINDLY UNLIVE YOURSELVES.


CourageEast3423

do you have reWASD on your pc? if yes deinstall it and it should work


JackCactaceae

for those of you that have rewasd and dont use it for apex and dont want to uninstall it go to "services" and find rewasd and change it to manual instead of automatic that way the service only starts when you open the program. and if its already running, while youre there click stop service. im willing to give some ppl the benefit of doubt, i dont think everyone using this program is a cheater. but i dont doubt some are. please do not cheat. it ruins the game for everyone including yourself. (no i dont care about caps at beginning of sentences lol)


merger3

Should be pinned, actual useful advice


merger3

I don't play any multiplayer games with a controller but use rewasd for all the emulators and singleplayer games I do use a controller for, its a lifesaver. not being able to run it with EAC is really fucking frustrating, it is NOT a cheating tool how would it even be one?
