Then i decided to upgrade my Computer I5-4670K 16GB RAM and a ASUS AMD R9-280X and a new Motherboard now i get the directX error every time i play BF4 ...and only BF4 ...Farcry 3 runs just fine...
So new Hardware and BF4 ...not a good idea😕mileysad:
I know the poor people from the EA Helpline will never admit that the Game is actually causing the problem. But why are all other games running?
Please EA admit that this is a issue and your guys are working on a solution...no need for a hurry. I would be glad if i knew i just have to wait a little longer before BF4 is playable again.
There may be something to this! I was running the game fine with my I7 2.2ghz 8gb ram, AMD 7690m xt and windows 7 64 bit, but then I did two things. I upgraded to 16gb if ran abd then upgraged to windows 8.1. Now I get the direct x error every time I play and I have done EVERYTHING to try and fix it. Everything I've tried:
- Reinstalled Direct X
- Reinstalled punkbuster
- Unparked CPU trick
- Uninstalled everything single non-essential piece of software
- Upgraded and tweaked audio drivers
- Upgraded & Downgraded AMD drivers
- Reinstalled BF4
- Run in both windows 7 & windows 8 compatiblity mode
- Run as administrator
- Disable Origin in game
Nothing at all has worked. This has to be either Battlefield 4 issue, or a Microsoft Direct X issue, and getting these two companies to work together on an issue like this is simply not going to happen, but we'll have to see what future patches bring, but I'm not confident.

I had the directx crash the whole time on Windows 8.1. This week I tried Battlefield on Windows 7 and Windows 8 but i had the exact same error.
Is there a way to start and play B4 not in Directx 11 mode, but instead with Directx 10? I can't find a way to do this.

Yes, you can download the BF4 Settings Editor from the following website. You can disable DirectX 11 & 11.1:
I did try this to fix the issue as well, but it did not work for me, but I hope you have better luck.
