Thanks for the details! Does it work in Window and borderless mode?

[Griever]

Hi yes it does work on borderless and windowed but these add a lot of input lag and reduce performance.

@Griever 

Thank you for confirming that for me! (Wanted to make sure the game can still function in alternative video settings)

Strange it gets disabled in fullscreen though. Do you have Origin In-Game or other overlays disabled when you play in fullscreen?

If disabling the overlays doesn't fix this, I recommend reaching out to our Accessibility team if it's causing you eye strain. We'll get this tracked down on our end though.

This can be easily solved by allowing the command -nogammaramp in Apex Legends. Such command is allowed in CSGO, Dota, etc.

Please Apex developers, consider this, there are a lot of users who need this feature.

This is the most underrated comment on the Internet. Thank you for solving an issue I was on top of for years!
