Re: DirectX Error - e_unexpected("Unexpected failure")

My problem is: I launch the game from Steam, it opens in windowed mode showing nothing but black screen, after a couple of seconds error message saying "DirectX function "res" failed with E_UNEXPECTED ('Unexpected failure.') GPU: NVIDIA 'GeForce GTX 1660', Driver: 52824" shows up.

The "Driver:" part changes sometimes to 52741 and other numbers. I think I tried almost every possible fix like clean reinstalling my drivers, checking dxgiag, compatibility mode, running directly from folder, running as administrator, rebooting, checking file integrity, moving it to SSD using steam and basically most of methods I could find online for DirectX errors (By the way I couldn't find a single solution for THIS EXACT problem).

I didn't try:
1. Reinstalling the game
2. Reinstalling my Windows 10

Any ideas? I'm kinda out of ideas at this point. Might try to reinstall it but I doubt it will help. DxDiag attached
