Consistently getting DirectX Error
Seems like there are a handful of DX errors that are pretty common, but mine isn't all that common as far as I've found. Along with the fact that there is no fix for any as far as I am aware. Mine ei...

EA Staff (Retired)Hello @Panzerd1er
I am sorry for those troubles you are having with Battlefield 1. Have you updated your GPU drivers? We also have a thread on the similar issue in other games, using Frostbite 3 engine. Can you check the workaround, our users came up with in the thread, and let us know if this will resolve your issue as well.
Cheers,

I can get to the advanced settings and find the editing virtual memory page, but I lack the understanding to change it properly, and the fix you linked doesn't really explain it either.
It displays:
Minimum allowed 16MB
Recommended: 5619MB
Currently allocated: 2432MB
When I go to change it, the page asks me what max and min inputs I want, but I don't know what to choose.
Hello @Panzerd1er
Please try the following: Go to Origin client>>Right-click on the game icon and select Game Properties>> Advanced Launch Options in Command Line Arguments you need to write this: -novid -noborder and Test.
Also, find a PROFSAVE_profile file in My Documents>>Battlefield 1>>Settings and Edit. You need to find this line GstRender.OverallGraphicsQuality 0 and change to 1. Perhaps this error can be fixed if you change graphics settings of game. Try to change them to Low settings.
What about other games ? Battlefield 4 or SW Battlefront.
Tried both and no changes in the frequency of the errors. Personally, I think this error has to do with the quality/resolution of the game starting up and in menu. I have yet to actually ever reach this error in-game, no matter the settings I had on. All my graphics settings are currently low or as low as possible.
I do not play Battlefield 4, but when I played Star Wars battlefront Beta, I never ever had any issues even on medium or high graphics settings.
Also a quick note of Virtual memory...
Virtual memory is hard drive space saved for use by the operating system to make up for shortfalls when actual RAM memory isn't enough. Most new systems have 12+ GB of ram and rarely have to make use of Virtual memory anymore. Back in the old days when a computer may have 64 megs for ram, having 100MB of space put aside for use by the operating system to store data on made a pretty good idea. Virtual RAM is slower(unless allocated on an SSD and even then somewhat slower) than actual ram since the computer is writing the data to a drive and accessing it again when needed, but it allowed more programs to be running or more data handled without crashing or having a pop-up saying please close your email program if you want to load anything else....
To my knowledge Video NEVER uses virtual ram, simply because there is no way it would EVER be fast enough to do the job. You system uses shared main RAM for video use and may actually be part of the problem depending on how much is in use when the video card is needing a bunch.
