BF4 DirectX error on startup (The action provided invalid parameter data).

I used to play this game a lot, but I haven't played for a while and now with the most recent update every time when I start the game, after a bit it gives me this DirectX error: http://gyazo.com/2d3...

    Okay, so you have an nvidia GTX 765M but it is not being used when you start BF4.

    Try the following to be sure your discrete GPU is being used rather than the on-board IGP.

    1. Open the nvidia control panel
    2. Manage 3D settings, Program settings tab
    3. Click add to choose the program to customize
    4. Click browse and choose: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4\bf4.exe
    5. Set your graphics preferences and click apply.

    I'm closing this thread to stop it being necroed.
     
    If you have any issues with Battlefield 4 please make a new topic about the issues you are having and what kind of steps you have tried to solve it.
     
    Recommend reinstalling your GPU drivers if you are having DirectX issue.
