Re: Apex Legends not starting in DX12 mode

Yeah, `-eac_launcher_settings SettingsDX12.json` does nothing, launching `r5apex_dx12.exe` does nothing either.

If you can edit the file `Settings.json` and change `r5apex.exe` to `r5apex_dx12.exe` and launch normally (-eac_launcher... not needed) DX12 seems to work just fine.

    Hey everyone,

    Locking this thread down as there have been some changes to DX12 and these commands should no longer be necessary to launch.

    Please check out the thread below if you're running into any issues launching DX12 via Steam, thanks!
