PC - Game won't launch "Please Update your Microsoft Basic Render Driver driver"

"Detected Microsoft Basic Render Driver driver version Unknown. The required driver version is AMD, Intel, Nvidia, etc. or later. Please update at etc before playing the game."

Straightforward error, but I have updated my driver... Before this error, it was telling me "Your GTX 1080 does not support Direct X 11"... Updated the driver to the 6/5/2018 one, most recent from Nvidia. Running that now and I am STILL getting this * error. What the hell? I can play BF4 like normal, but 1 won't launch cus this stupid, incorrect error. Anyone have a fix?

    Hey @xGoldenGodx,

    I would suggest a clean reinstall of your GPU drivers. Use DDU (display driver uninstaller and safe mode) after uninstalling all Nvidia software from control panel in Windows.

    Then reboot into safe mode and uninstall any remnants using DDU. Then, reboot into normal Windows and install the newest Driver from Nvidia. 

    If you are still having issues after this, I recommend contacting EA Support via Live Chat, to see if they are able to assist you.

    You can do so here:
