Game Stuck on Black Screen on Launch

[RsP_Z3RVO]

When trying to load up the game no matter how long I wait it does not load.

It doesn't even get to the continue screen before it starts not responding, I only get as far as the first black screen with the loading icon in the bottom right corner, after the first loop of the loading symbol its not responding and doesn't start responding no matter how long I wait...

Since Day 1 I have never crashed, EVER, but since Yesterdays mishap with the servers and the accounts refreshing my game has been unable to load.

I have attached some pictures of how this looks:

And no, It's not my computer, My system is well over the recommended system specs.

So far I have tried,
- Origin game repair
- Re-Installing the game

- Repairing easy anti cheat

But none of those have changed anything...

Hello, I actually managed to fix mine by removing any custom game boot settings I had.
These settings are found here:

- Open Origin
- Click "My Game Library"
- Right Click Apex 
- Click "Game Properties"
- Then click the second tab which says "Advanced Launch Options"
- Then remove anything inside of "Command Line Arguments"

This fixed mine because i had been using the same boot options NRG_Dizzy has but removing it fixed it

Hope this helps

Have you tried:
-resetting amd/nvidia configurations presets
-disable any type of overlay
-delete the videoconfig.txt file from:
\Saved Games\Respawn\Apex\local (take a backup if u dont want to delete it perminantly)
-make sure you have visual c++ 2010/2012/2013/2017 installed in 32/64bit latest version from microsoft and no double versions running
-running origin.exe/apex5.exe as admin

disclaimer i havent had this issue this are just some advice
