Re: Battlefield3 show DirectX function failed with DXGI_ERROR_INVALID_CALL under WIndows8.1

Hey,

I'm having the same problem.

WHich setting option are you refer to as "Language Area"?

Is it the language of Windows, or location setting under Region in control panal?

Thanks a lot!

------------------------------------------

Update:

OK, I think I understand your solution now

Control panel -> Time, Launguage and Region -> Region -> Administrative tab

Change Language for non-Unicode programs To English(US)

And DXGI_ERROR_INVALID_CALL error will no longer appear...

    Changing the non-Unicode to English (US) will slove the problem of BF3

    but additionally it may cause some Chinese program get unstable or cannot display Chinese word properly

    so this can just be a temporary fix

    Holy heck it works, thanks for the simple solution, would've not seen such a simple region settings change affect DirectX since I thought the issue was due to a GPU driver issue.

    I still have this problem even though my location is set to United States and my language is set to English primary.
