Resolution Problem (Apex Legends)

My friend is currently having a situation with the resolution 1280x720, I saw that someone already made a thread but I thought making a new one might help get more traction for the devs to see. Anyway, the problem that is occurring is that he loads up the game. The anti-cheat banner does pop up and load all the way through, it opens a window to the game but then only shows a white screen opening a message window and stating what is said in the png. I've gone through the game files but I cannot find any one that has a option to change the resolution to be able to have him at least load the game.

    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 have this problem too , this fix works but every time I try to change something in the video settings in game it resets to 720p and i have to do it all  over again...

    This needs more attention!

    Go onto your origin and right click apex. Then click on game properties. Then select advanced launch options and type in the following: -window -width (your preferred width) - height (your preferred height).

    E.g. -window -width 1280 -height 720

    This worked for me :

    I have two GPUs one integrated (intel) and dedicated 

    ( nvidia gtx1050) on my laptop so i added a custom resolution on intel graphic settings. As i was playing the game at 1600*900 i overwrite the resolution and added it in custom resolution and opened the game and it brought back all the resolution and aspect ratios.

    Another method is uninstall the nvidia geforce experience totally and open the game and set the resolution , it will show all the resolutions then close the game and install nvidia geforce again.
