Battlefield 4 DirectX Error "screen->swapChain->ResizeBuffers..."

Hello there!

So I am having this issue with battlefield 4 that seems to be a directx issue? It only happens when I click on the application when it loads, its as if once it goes fullscreen (which it forcefully does no matter what mode you choose) it just crashes.

I have tried the following:

Reinstalling drivers for GPU

Updating directx/Reinstalling

Updating C++

Updating .NET Framework

Disabling Origin In-Game

Repairing game using origin

Reinstalling the game

Reinstalling the game without DLC.

    @WilFitzz Hey there, only way I know of deal with this issue is to remove any driver or program that deals with the GPU in other-words a complete reinstall of any program and drivers from Nvidia in this case.

    Seen recommendation from the community to try DDU but that would be your own risk.

    Hi @WilFitzz 
    The first solution:
    Open Origin. From the top menu, click on Origin, then Application Setting, then enter ORIGIN IN-GAME and disable THIGHALMTH ORIGIN IN-GAME. Then try the game.

    If the first solution did not work, this is another solution if all of the folders listed below are available in your Origin Games folder

    Follow the steps in this sequence:
    Enter the folder C.
    Next, the Program Files x 86 folder.
    Then the Origin Games folder.
    Then the Installer folder.
    Then directx folder.
    Then the Redist folder.
    Delete all rar compressed files (Beware of deleting DSETUP.dll, dsetup32.dll and DXSETUP).
    In the same folder, open DXSETUP and complete the download steps.
    Launch ORIGIN, log into the games library, right click on the game and choose Repair.
    Wait for the download to finish, restart the device and try the game

    This worked for me.

    Start EA Games

    Click on the three lines in the top left corner

    Select settings

    Select Application

    Uncheck or disable  "IN Game Overlay."

    Cheers

    Hi everyone,

    Since this thread is quite old at this point and the solutions appear to work based on recent comments, I'm closing it to avoid "necros".

    If you're experiencing this issue and the suggestions in this thread don't work, feel welcome to create a new one.
