    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.

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

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

It just overwrites the settings as I need to drop my resolution to 2560 x 1080. I'll see if it still works if I set the file to 'Read Only', but I had the same problem with Anthem and setting the file to Read Only still didn't work.

Also, as I'm colourblind and the colourblind options don't work, I tried running the game from a monochrome desktop, but it just puts it back into full colour again.

    Setting the file to read only doesn't work either, even though the text in the file isn't changed back to the original, the game just ignores the resolution you've entered into the file.
