    C:\Users\<YOUR USERNAME>\Saved Games\Respawn\Apex\local

    videoconfig > open with note pad.

    Find these command lines and input your resolution, fullscreen "0" and "no window border" "1"

    Example > 

    "setting.defaultres" "1920" < Width>
    "setting.defaultresheight" "1080" <Height>
    "setting.fullscreen" "0"
    "setting.nowindowborder" "1"

    save file > reopen to check changes stuck

    Apex must be closed during these changes otherwise it will overwrite upon closing. 

    Works for me.

This needs more attention. I have the exact same problem ☹️

I'm currently sending a ticket/message to EA to hear about a resolve/fix to the problem.

    I believe you can change the resolution from outside the game in the file:

    C:\Users\yourwindowsusername\Saved Games\Respawn\Apex\local\videoconfig.txt

      @Carbonic I did try this & changed the res in the txt file to 1920x1080 but didn't work ☹️ ... my current maximum pc resolution is 1366x768 ... can you please tell me how to make this work for my current resolution please?

      Thank you.

        Since, your monitor's max res is only 1366x768, that is what all of you game's max res is. If you want to play apex at 1920 x 1080, you should get a monitor that's atleast 1920 x 1080.

      For me changing the "setting.nowindowborder" from "0" to "1" was a quick temporary solution within that file
