Thus meaning yes, it is bannable, and will get you banned. 

looks like a roblox copy of apex legends 😃

Technically what he's doing is force modifying the

videosettings.cfg through the Nvidia tool,

and not modifying the core game files

witch is what they are refering too.

You can modify the Videosettings file without

breaking there ToS and I believe that's exactly

what he's doing.

So i say again, unless they say changing

that file is against there ToS, he's most likely

safe from a ban.

You just talked in a circle...  And yes, it will get you banned.  Any changes that give you an advantage over other players will result in a ban...

This community is completely broken... ☹️

You clearly have no idea what i'm talking about, the videosettings.cfg is just that, its a settings

file in your users/NAME/saved games/Apex folder and not a core game file,

editing that is not from what I have seen against the rules.

And that file is what I am guessing he is modifying.

He's not going into the core files, decompiling them

and re working video settings.

But I digress, we will just have to see what Respawn says about it.

If anything.

No, you probably wont. There are certain instances where modifying the game is allowed. One usually being in the graphical settings department. You especially won't get banned if it's not with the intent to have an advantage, and it would be extremely difficult to prove something like this is only used for the purpose of an advantage.

And even that's not true all of the time. Certain mods to the game can be made, and they only have the intent to cause an advantage. I've used this example before, Shroud uses at least one macro when playing. One being to make the Hemlock full auto when set to single fire mode.

Players in BFV were banned for the same thing.

It wasn't quite the same thing. The BFV banning was reported for several reasons that pertain to BFV and not Apex Legends. 

Also, this is a user reported banning, so it can be taken with a grain of salt. 

A lot of banned players will use any excuse possible, "I wasn't cheating", "My Brother did it!!!1", "I was hacked", ect...

Apples for Apples.

Dice confirmed players reducing graphics like that will face a Ban.

Pretty certain Respawn will do the same.

Time will tell.

Different game, different graphical setup, different company, different rules.
