So after talking to some people on the steam community, while I believe apex doesn't use DX12 I feel that is the issue. There seems to be some issue with apex wanting DX11 when most windows systems use DX12. In a normal case like any other game, DX is backward compatible. But for some reason, I can't explain, for I and many other steam folks, we're getting a DX12 Apex Legends Hang issue occasionally in DXdaig when checking for crashes. I wish I could explain better but being assured by the community that they've been having the same issue as me and getting similar error codes makes me understand that I wasn't going crazy afterall. But for amd its a different story, you should try going online to check and see what version of direct x is included with older AMD drivers compatible with ur specs. For me, my Nvidia drivers all had DX12 and I couldn't go further back without them being incompatible. Try also doing a DXDIAG on your system by typing dxdiag into the windows search bar, it should list the version of DX on your system.

Your logs do not indicate problem with directx but rather with your hardware or drivers.
I hope you do realize that all modern pc's run directx12.
Try enabling HVCI in Windows settings.

DX9 launch command used to work, idk if it still does.
That helped me in some earlier season when i had issues.For now it seems to use DX11, if it had used DX12 my Ryzen system would performe way better than its doing now.
The game itself just lacks basic options, DX 9-12, FPS cap etc ( Ingame that is )

So currently I think from the start of S15, you can run Apex in DX12, but it's in beta. I actually came here because I am having this issue with DX12, but not DX11. Maybe intentionally launching it with the DX12 flag will work for you.
In case anyone is curious:
