Something that might help players with a dual monitor setup

Hey guys this might help someone that accidentally runs a dual monitor setup. So to explain sometimes when minimizing Apex (generally when in the lobby when waiting for a game to load) I have had the game minimize and change the resolution and thanks to my luck the game crashed at that moment (due to my internet cutting out).  When trying to restart the game it would not load as it said the min size for the game to load is 720 x 1280 while my minimized screen was at 700 x 1200. 

So I searched online and found this https://www.shoutmeback.com/useful-apex-legends-launch-options-commands/ (many thanks to this guy)

This allows you to load up the game with different conditions from within your steam/origin launcher. You can run it from Just ran  -fullscreen/-full -w 1920 -h 1080 and that resolved my issue. 

So I never knew that this was a thing so hope it might help someone. 

Also not sure if there is a default way to reset your apex settings in case someone had the issue I had above. Just note the "repair" button in origin does not restore your screen resolution to default.
