Directx crash

I'm getting the directx crash while the game is loading, with the same error message that these guys encountered during the beta:

None of the fixes suggested in that thread worked. Already tried reinstalling the game. One of the suggested fixes is to go into the nvidia control panel and set the game to run on the gpu and not the cpu-- but the latest version of the nvidia control panel no longer allows you to adjust that setting. It's completely gone from the ui.

Strangely, the game played fine to start out with when I first downloaded it. Good performance, smooth framerate on default settings. I got a good start on the campaign. The problem didn't start until I alt-tabbed out of the game for the first time, I think. But then, even deleting the profile setting files, uninstalling the whole game, and updating video drivers didn't fix it. The game ran fine on my computer yesterday, and today I get a crash on launch.

Help me out here? I've been trying to get it to run for hours, and I'm going to have to request a refund pretty soon if I can't get it to work.

My system:
i5-3750
GTX 980
8 GB RAM

  • Same exact scenario here. You arte not alone.

    My System:
    GeForce GTX 980 Ti (SLI)
    i7-4790K
    16GB RAM
    Nvidia Driver ver. 368.39
  • update: Now I stopped getting the crash. No idea why. First it ran fine, then I could only get this crash, then a few hours later it's running fine again. Wish I could share a solution, but I guess EA is fickle and it giveth as it taketh away.
  • I'm getting the same error. My computer can run Witcher 3 and Black Desert Online on ultra settings which makes it hard to believe the this error is related
    to outdated hardware. Tech stuff isn't my forte I must confess though, so I have really no idea.

    The strange thing is it sometimes launches on hyper settings, and I'm getting really high fps rates for about two minute before it crashes. The client just seems so fragile.


    I made an own thread where you'll find my specs.
