How to run Apex Legends in windowed mode (and lower resolution) without crash

In case you are getting Create2d error while changing screen resolution

1. Run Apex Legends from Origin and go to video settings, change from Fullscreeen to Windowed mode, press Apply and close the game
2. Go to folder \Origin\Apex, find r5apex.exe, right click go to properties. Check the box "Disable Fullscreen Optimization"
3. From Origin launch the game and go back to video settings, lower the resolution of the game to your preference
4. For improved performance go to "Texture Streaming Budget" and lower vram usage (I'm using a 4gb nvidia card but set it to use 2gb of Vram)

In case you cant run Apex legends (crash to desktop with or without error) check this:
