Launch Error
SettingsDX12.json not found

Perfect update. Casual APEX experience.
workaround for now: delete DX12 command from launch options

Flagged and added to Trello. Reiterating workaround steps for anyone hitting this with Steam:

  1. Right click on Apex Legends, select "Properties"
  2. Under General, Launch Options, remove the text that says "-anticheat_settings=SettingsDX12.json"

It's said in the patch notes that to revert to DX11, I should add this launch option:
--anticheat_settings=SettingsDX11.json

I'm getting the same error (but for DX11):
"SettingsDX11.json not found"

I know it exists, I've checked in C:\Program Files\EA Games\Apex\EasyAntiCheat and it's there.

EDIT: The problem is fixed. There should only be one dash in the command prefix:
-anticheat_settings=SettingsDX11.json

Should probably change the update page on the official site?

Correct, should be one dash. Team flagged that this morning and a blog update is going out.
