DirectX Feature Level 12_0 is not supported by your graphics card, which is required for running Apex Legends in DirectX 12 mode. DirectX 11 can currently be enabled by adding -anticheat_settings=SettingsDX11.json to your launch arguments. Please be aware that Apex Legends will stop supporting DirectX 11 in the future, and a 12_0 compatible graphics card will be necessary to continue playing.

Hey snuggert,

We're still investigating some DX12 crashes, particularly with certain CPUs. It may be worth checking through this information if you're seeing the crashes regularly.

The good news is that the crashing doesn't occur when using the old 561.09 Nvidia driver, BUT the bad news is I cannot install that driver on my RTX 5080 :( The crashes are happening again. EA/Respawn please fix
