@RaisinOcto Try changing to a different resolution first. And if that works, change back to the desired resolution.
Or in addition to @XHelperZ 's configuration, modify also:
"setting.fullscreen" "1"
"setting.nowindowborder" "0"

The cause of this issue is unknown to me, though I can mention a possible fix to this issue.

Follow the steps and see if that resolves your issue:

Press Windows Key + R
Put in %USERPROFILE% and select OK
Go to the Saved Games Folder
Navigate to the Respawn Folder
Navigate to the Apex Folder
Navigate to the local Folder
Open videoconfig.txt
Change setting.defaultres to 1920
Change setting.defaultresheight to 180
Save the document

Additionally, you can also try deleting the videoconfig.txt file, this will reset the videoconfig to default, though it can reset some of your graphics settings.

    I appreciate the help, i really do. But it turns out the problem fixed itself and all i needed to do was uninstall and reinstall the game 4 times and wait a day. I am still very grateful for your time.
