Ah I see. I did briefly search the forums for a similar problem but I suppose I was throughout enough. As for the workaround fixes i've tried most of those to no avail.
As for any additional programs i'm not running anything out of the ordinary (Steam, Origin, Epic Games Launcher and the other standard Windows stuff)
I've attached a DxDiag file as requested 🙂
NB: I noticed some other kind soul told me the newest Nvidia driver was faulty, the problem I have with Apex have been there before I installed that driver so I don't think that's the cause. Not alone at least.
