How to fix the 'everything looks dark' glitch

As suggested on Twitter by Respawn's Community Coordinator, there is a fix for PC players: you just have to 'repair your game'. But what does that mean?

Well, if you were wondering how to repair your game in Apex Legends, these are the steps you need to follow:
