Compatibility option stopped working

[Hazental]

Hi everyone,

The compatibility option worked only once for me. After that, without changing anything, I started getting errors when launching Apex Legends with reWASD.

At first I saw an error mentioning the x904hlp driver. Later, without any clear trigger, it switched to the usual 0x8000002 error.

Here’s what I’ve tried over the last 3 days:

• Multiple reboots
• Uninstalled/reinstalled both reWASD and Apex Legends (Apex runs fine without reWASD)
• Toggled the compatibility option on and off again
• Removed the x904hlp driver via Autoruns → initially failed, then cold reboot → driver disappeared
• Tried to repair EAC from both Apex’s launcher and directly from Program Files folders → EAC still won’t launch with reWASD
• Verified game files on Steam → no change
• Created a brand-new Windows admin account → same issues
• Ran sfc /scannow and DISM /RestoreHealth → completed successfully but no effect
• Checked that x904hlp.sys is no longer present in System32\drivers
• Made sure EAC is whitelisted in my antivirus

I’m running out of ideas at this point 😅 Any suggestions on what else I could check to make the compatibility option work again would be greatly appreciated.

Hi! At the moment, the only available option is to enable Compatibility Mode before launching the game. However, we still receive similar reports from time to time, and our team is working on investigating and finding a permanent solution.
