What Causes The Engine Error 0x887a0006?

Engine Error 0x887a0006 occurs when the game fails to launch for one of three reasons: the launcher doesn't have administrative rights, your GPU is overclocked (which Apex doesn't like), or the game files have been corrupted. Luckily, all of these issues can be resolved by the user, and so we aren't relying on EA to deploy a patch. It won’t be as easy to fix this error as simply closing the game and reopening it, but with our guide, it should be simple enough for all users.
