.NET Framework is up to date. 

 

I've tried switching language to Polish.  Didn't help.

 

I'm going to try installing Origin and Apex Legends on my C:\ drive -- it's an SSD and space is tight, so I typically install everything to D:\ -- and if will try disabling Windows fullscreen optimization after installation is finished.  Will let you know the results.

I've checked my system and everything run smoothly but the game is still on black screen even I force it to run as administrator or change the game settings to higher mode in amd graphics driver.

@Konform103 After installing to C:\, I tried disabling fullscreen optimizations.  No change.

Can you play any other games in fullscreen? Is it just apex related?
Try enable gpu scaling on/off in amdcatalyst software
Post a Dxdiag.txt in this topic for the Eu community

For drivers:
-Download latest driver for your card and download ddu
https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html
-Disable integrated hd graphics in the bios
-Boot pc in safe mode, uninstall every intel, nvidia amd driver you might have installed
-Boot pc and clean install your latest driver (restart after)

For clean boot pc go to msconfig and service, click hide microsoft services and disable all that is active (take a screenshot before you do so you can revert it back when it doesnt work)
For cold reboot windows press ALT+F4

I've tried Fortnite, Artifact, and a few other games, and they are running without problems.  

 

GPU scaling in the AMD settings didn't help.

 

I've been through the driver installation process with DDU multiple times already, but I did it again just to be sure.  Still getting the same black screen.

 

Attaching DxDiag.txt

 

I will try the msconfig step next.

 

Update: disabling services in the system configuration had no effect.

I tried another delete and reinstall for Apex Legends, and the game launched.  I was able to play for about an hour with no issues, but after closing it I am back to getting the black screen again.  I didn't touch anything else on the computer in between, so I don't know what could have caused it to revert.  I'm going to delete and install again to see if I can replicate this.

Interestingly, deleting and reinstalling did get the game working again.  Haven't experienced the black screen again yet.

I have same problem, game run on windowed mode on first launch but the black screen happen when i change to fullscreen.

Edit: I found a solution to fix that but can play in windowed mode only.

On origin game library > apex legend > settings (apex legends setting) > repair.

So the game setting will reset.
