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.
