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...
So I had the exact same issue everyone is reporting here, spent most of the day doing everything reinstalling, re-install drivers, reinstall DX, nothing worked, until I did a deeper dive into event viewer and searching the specific issue causing the crashes, in my case this is what was the issue:
Windows Paging size was to little,
Do the following and let me know if it helps you:
Search on your PC for "View advanced system settings".
Go to Performance -> Settings.
Go to Advanced.
You will see Virtual Memory.
Click change, then select "Custom Size" on your C drive, make sure you select your C drive (Your hard drive with OS installed)
Add a value 1.5 times more than your systems memory, in my case I have 16GB of RAM, so I put 24000 in the Initial size and on the maximum size you can just put 100mb more, so for me, this value is 24100.
Reboot your device.
(Keep in mind the higher the paging size, the more storage is occupied from your C-drive)
To be clear:
Initial size - 24000
Maximum size - 24100.
Hope this helps at least some of you, I been able to play without interruptions, and before I struggled to even pass the character creation.
Sorry to hear man, its **bleep** when nothing works, trust me before I found this fix for me, I did everything, defragged, reinstalled, downgraded windows update, repaired the game, Reinstalled DX, reslotted GPU, cleared CMOS, reset bios, the list goes on, nothing worked aside from what I shared here.
In my case I looked in event viewer and thats where I spotted the Virtual Memory running low, cause I have 16GB Ram, the game runs about 98% of that memory, increasing your VM made sure there was backup memory if it reached 100%.
