Change the Graphics Settings in Apex Legends

A few graphics settings can trigger the error, especially following a recent update of Apex Legends.If you are running the game on DirectX 12 with Low Model Detail, it is recommended that you revert back to DirectX 11 and adjust the Model Detail to Medium. Respawn has confirmed this workaround as a fix until the issue is resolved on the developer’s end.
