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...
