DirectX Error
So I've managed to play through the introductory bit, in the infirmary when trying to leave the game crashed with a DirectX error popup saying the following: See a few others have ran into th...

Same issue as everybody else here. Crashes during the CC. Sometimes right away, sometimes takes awhile. Please help
I'm getting it consistently during CC too, ALWAYS making the Inquisitor. Can spend an hour+ making Rook, but the second I go there? Nope. Been trying to find a fix for hours. I've repaired, reinstalled, deleted the shader cache, restarted my PC, checked repeatedly to make sure there are no new graphics drivers since I updated yesterday, lowered my graphics settings, and have come really close to pulling my hair out.
Update as I try literally anything and achieve the same results:
• Tried the previous version of my graphics drivers. No change.
• Updated BIOS. Crashed during shader compilation this time. Deleted contents of shader folder, restarted. Got back to the same point in character creation, and it stuck around slightly longer to give me hope--then crashed again.My crash is very consistently doing anything in the Inquisitor part of Character Creation. I can do anything in the Rook part for as long as I want, either upon opening the Inquisitor section or spending up to 3 minutes there guarantees this crash.
Updating again, in case some of this data actually helps anyone.
Lots of solutions didn't work. The one that finally began to help was Dragannia's suggestion of disabling hair strand graphics. Made sense to try as I am also getting some mild graphical artifacting with them on. The game isn't as pretty as it could be, but disabling it let me get through Character Creation and into the game finally, so that's something. Unfortunately, it has not stopped the crashes. (Same error message with the crash.)
Played for about 9 hours today and experienced 14 crashes. Playtime between them ranged from 9 minutes to 1 hour and 17 minutes. Eight crashes were in cutscenes, one was in combat, one was in a vendor window, and the other four were just running around in different zones. Six crashes also caused the EA App to crash, and one was so violent it locked up Windows for a bit. I've restarted my PC, repaired installations, cleared caches--more of the same. Might get lucky with one of them, right? But none of these things seemed to affect the length of gameplay before a crash.
Played only 3 hours today. Eight crashes total. Five of them were within a ten minute span, at a specific spot in Dock Town that I cannot avoid because I'm on a quest. Adding a screenshot as an attachment, though spoiler-wise it's probably very very mild. (Some cliffs, paving stones, some loot items, and a quest name that doesn't give much away.) It's crashed after the fight immediately preceeding the chest in the screenshot, around the chest, or going down the ladder immediately after looting the chest. Avoiding the chest made no difference. Restarting my PC, repairing the game, clearing my shader cache, and begging also made no difference.
Really hoping tomorrow brings some sort of help, as it seems I'm once again stuck and unable to progress.😭
