After years of keeping track of my configuration files and endless commands, i realized this was not effective. I kept forgetting which commands i had used and didn't work.
And the obvious thought, I cannot be the only one. So I figured, why not set something up that will both help me to keep track and have that information available for others. Because in most cases that I see or receive config files. They always had banned, removed or non existing commands. As a result I created this website, to share that information actively. I hope the pages are helpful in making Apex Legends more enjoyable.
Updates:
- All the settings thusfar have completely been set up in the differrent pages. There are download buttons on each page, some have seperate files with either stripped or detailed information. The stripped files are immediately usuable.
- Added settings for AMD, the page of NVIDIA has been merged with AMD. The table has sorting and filter so you can use those to see only your GPU. The buttons will be set up in a way that you can choose which settings you want. So either NVIDIA or AMD
