Re: "Failed to CreateGameWindow. Resolution (1280x720) unsupported?" error

SOLVED:

In addition to what I tried earlier. I also tried this.

What you need to do is find the two lines; (C:\Users\"username"\Documents\Respawn\Apex\local)

"setting.fullscreen" "1"
"setting.nowindowborder" "0"

This is telling the game to launch in fullscreen mode, all you need to do is change them to;

"setting.fullscreen" "0"
"setting.nowindowborder" "1"

    could you say specificly which file was this to find it ? 

  • @GEFOX33
    You have to find the file called "videoconfig.txt"

    Can be found at:
    C:\Users\"Your PC name"\Saved Games\Respawn\Apex\local

    Then right click on "videoconfig" and open with Notepad.
    Change the value of "setting.fullscreen" "1" to "setting.fullscreen" "0" and "setting.nowindowborder" "0" to "setting.nowindowborder" "1".

    Hope it helps!

    I don't want to play the game in a window, is there any way to fix this while being able to play full screen?

  • @Vynemaeda
    Hello,

    There are ways to do that.

    Solution 1:
    C:\Users\"Your PC name"\Saved Games\Respawn\Apex\local
    Right click on "videoconfig.txt" and open with Notepad.
    Change
    "setting.fullscreen" "0" to "1"
    "setting.nowindowborder" "1" to "0"

    Solution 2:
    Don't open Origin (make sure it is gone from your taskbar), Select Apex from the start menu and launch it from there. It goes full screen.

    Hope it helps!

    This worked perfectly along with changing the default setting for the resolution to my max settings for the monitor.  Thanks!!

  • To go full screen set the graphic numbers to your max screen resolution
