DirectX Error (Though I know its old news by now)

Question

Hey guys!I just bought this game yetserday for the PC and got stuck on the DirectX crash. Im only in the beginning of the game, my game crashes whenever I start the conversation with the Chantry man and the hooded girl. It can crash in different occasions during that conversation, but I never manage to pass this part and its really a shame since I cant continue playing the game.I've already tried like every single solutions that people had mentioned in the other threads, but nothing really seems to work for me at all.My specs:Windows 8.1 64 bit (With latest updates)Intel i7 - 4770K 3,50GHz16 gb RAMNvidia GTX 780 3gbDo you guys know if they are even thinking about to fix this issue, I've seen that this issue has been on for awhile now.

Answer

Hey ashky88,I had the same problem and I tried everything (repair, uninstall/install, different nvidia driver, install separate DirectX and Visual bla bla....).Nothing worked so far.In a German Forum I read something about downspeeding your Graphic-Card. If your Graphic Card is overclocked (indifferent if done by you or the company), install the Software of your Graphic-Cards-Company (mine was Palit and I installed the "Thundermaster"-Software:&nbsp;Click Here). With the Software of the equivalent company you can now clock down the GPU and RAM Speed of your Graphic Card. I put down the speed to nvidia references and somehow I can play now with no more Error. I played since that 20 Hours (game time) and had no error.My Rig:Intel i7 37708 GB RAMPalit Nvidia Geforce GTX 770 2GB (overclocked by company)Samsung 500 GB 840 Evo

Thanks for the reply!I'll need to check which made my graphics card then. I never made any overclocking or downclocking myself, so if there's any overclocking it should be factory settings.But is it hard to make a downclock? Or is there kind of like a reset button that changed back everything to standard?

Answer

It is that hard. If your Graphic Card is from palit, MSI or Asus it is quite easy. Because you can download a Tool from this companies to do that (msi =afterburner, palit =thundermaster, etc.).

In these tools, you can change easily the Speed for GPU and RAM :-)
