DirectX Error - Travelling to Western Approach (PLEASE HELP!)

Same thing happened to me on a GTX 970. Not really expecting a prompt response but hopefully multiple users having the same issues should produce one.

One of you tried to do his own part; the second paid no attention to how things work here. 

@Jonty_Shadow  You got started nicely, but we'll STILL have to have the DxDiag that you didn't get us a copy of. 

This guide applies to any game, NOT limited to just the DA: I game at all:

I am also suddenly having this issue - same error message with a different driver:

DirectX Error
DirectX function "device- >CreateTexture2D( &texDesc,
desc.subResourceCount != 0 ? reinterpret_cast<const
D3D11_SUBRESOURCE_DATA*>(desc.subResourceData) : 0,
&texture-> m_texture2d)" failed with E_INVALIDARG ("An invalid
parameter was passed to the returning function."). GPU: "NVIDIA
GeForce GTX 970'', Driver: 38233

I should note that I can still travel around the game world just fine everywhere except the Western Approach.

I'm on Windows 10 with Directx 12 (see here) and I've been adjusting graphical settings, deleting the ProfileOptions_profile file, updating NVIDIA drivers, etc. Also tried loading an earlier save with the same results. Let me know if I can provide more clarity, would love to find a fix!

I looks like you are running a VGA cable from your graphics card to your monitor...the monitor also has DVI input...so can you use a DVI cable instead??  Believe it or not, I have seen changing the type of cable used make a difference...

I am currently experiencing this exact same Direct X error (different Nvidia card) at the exact same spot of just loading into The Western Approach for the first time.  Has there been an answer to solving this?

Thanks.

I had the same problem. Had some reshade mods ect. After i took all my mods out it worked. I think i will try wich mods i can take back in.

Hope this will help!

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but I solved it by disabling retexture/graphics mods I had. After that the game ran fine, if you want to figure out which one in particular is causing it you can just enable one every time you launch and when the issue pops back up you'll know which mod is responsible. Hope this helps!
