Apex not recognized by Nvidia App + performance issues and crashes

skogasongur  Possible fix for the game not being recognized by the Nvidia App:

• Open Window's Settings
• Go to System
• Go to Display
• Scroll down and go to Graphics
• If Apex Legends is missing from the "custom settings for applications" list, manually add "r5apex_dx12.exe" by clicking on "add desktop app" and going to where the game is installed on your PC, (you may need to restart your PC)
  
  

Note: I did notice a few other games that I own that weren't showing up on the list, so I had tried to add them the same way that seemed to work for Apex, and they wouldn't appear, (even after a restart), so its possible that my Nvidia App had recognized Apex on its own.

skogasongur  I see the game is missing from my Nvidia App as well, (and that might mean that the Nvidia App doesn't support the DX12 version yet).

I'm also having performance issues, (but I haven't crashed yet). Although, I have heard that there are currently some problems with certain Nvidia GPUs, (which one of the solutions was to roll back your GeForce Game Ready Driver to 561.09).

bump so this crap stays relevant.
