Black Screen

whenever i open apex legends, it opens in windowed mode. I let the respawn logo and animation to load and press here to continue. When i enter the main menu i try to go full screen and the screen goes all black. When i move th cursor it seems like the game is running with the sounds playing when cursor goes onto any button, but the screen is still all black.

I tried repairing, updating drivers, reinstalling, also tried (uninstalling then deleting any apex related file then reinstalling). Nothing of which works. No matter how much i try but the game goes all black when i full screen

I can run the game in borderless mode on native resolution but the thing is, that eats up all my fps so i would like to have my full screen back. It used to run fine a few weeks ago.

my laptop general specs :- Intel core i5-8300H@2.3 Ghz , 8 GB ram , GTX 1050 4 GB, 

                                        os- win 10 home

                                        directX version :- DX12

I attached an image showing that the game runs in the windowed mode, but when i tried to go full screen and screenshot that with prt sc> It screenshotted the game screen even tho it was black for me it seems the screen shot shows whats going on

Have you tried any of these solutions below?

• Changing audio setting
• Change resolution after going borderless windowed
• Roll back driver
• Remove all command line arguments
• Disable full screen optimization

Hi

I tried all of the solutions you gave, and nothing seems to fix it, I will check deeper into the drivers rollback to see if I find one that it helps

Thanks

How did rolling back your drivers work out?
