I bought the game a couple of days ago and I'm having the exact same problem with the exact same error.
My specs:
i7 2770 @ 4.5ghz
Z68 chipset motherboard
16gb of RAM
GTX 690 GPU
Despite my aging system, I have been able to get playable FPS, but the game CTD's with the Direct X error.
I have managed to actually reach the airport hangar and hop in the old Mustang before the game crashes, but it usually happens sooner. It's a possibility that it's happening more quickly when the GPU is already hot. When I was able to get that far, my GPU had been idle for quite some time, whereas the other times the game crashed the GPU was warmer.
It's still obviously a problem with the game - I have verified no issues running other games, including NFS 2015.
