[2019] Game stopped launching (Apex Legends)

@ThatDolanGuy I suspect the base cause of your issue is a separate one, but it may be related. I see you have a thread on this already, it's best to add your dxdiag info to that: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/pc/how-to-gather-dxdiag-information/ You can also try the VC and DirectX steps we're trying here. 

@HoboHangout69 Thank you.

Did the other vcredist packages install without issue? Can you go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features, find the two 2017 redistributables and try to run these from here? They should give the option to repair, can you check if this works fine?

It should run without issue, so the next thing to do is to go back to the game folder and this time go down Games\Apex\__Installer\directx\redist. In here run the DXSETUP file and see if it throws up any errors. If it seems to complete without issue, can you try launching the game again? If it throws up and error, please let us know what it is.

@HoboHangout69  Thank you. It's interesting that the DirectX setup worked when you ran it directly, but failed when it was run through Origin.

If you try the repair process in Origin does it throw up an error message or complete without issue?

What security software do you use? Can you try whitelisting Origin(and the game), then restart your system and see if you can make any more progress?

@HoboHangout69  Thank you. Can you see if there's any critical events for the failed game starts in your reliability monitor?
If you open the Windows search and start typing "view reliability history" that should autofill, click the relevant button and you should come to the Reliability monitor. 

This will show Critical Events, warnings, and key recent updates. Sometimes this page will show up crashes, sometimes not. If there's an event for a failed Apex launch, can you post the details?

Aside from this, can you try clearing the Origin cache and reinstalling Origin (they are mutually exclusive) and give another restart, and see if this changes anything?
