Titanfall "Failed to CreateGameWindow. Resolution unsupported?" message when launching game

When I attempt to launch Titanfall for the first time, I get a "Failed to CreateGameWindow. Resolution unsupported?" error message

---

The first time you launch Titanfall, the game will attempt to launch at a screen resolution of 1280x720.  If your monitor does not support this resolution, the game will fail to launch and present you with this error message.  To correct this, go to:

C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Respawn\Titanfall\local

Open up videoconfig.txt with Microsoft Notepad.   

Change the following lines to a supported screen resolution. For example if your PC monitor supports 1080p, you would edit the file with the following values:

"setting.defaultres"       "1920"
"setting.defaultresheight"       "1080"
