Re: DirectX Error

Excuse me to interrupt here.

I'm A BF3 user with windows 8.1 x64 and I've got the dxgi error in starting my game.

Anyway I found an application named "frostbite fix" which fixes the BF3.exe file, then i could run the game smoothly.

I went to the app developer's blog(it's on sina blog website, http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_6cb6c5530101kxpd.html) and read one page claimed that the dxgi error in this situation is caused by the special character "TM" (trade mark) in the bf3.exe window title, it seems not going well with Windows setting "current language for non-Unicode programs" for non-english language.

And in my situation, my system locale is Chinese Simplified.

However, after the very last PB update, this Frostbite Fixed bf3.exe could not pass PB's examination and i failed to get into game again.

Finally, my solution to this is setting my Windows system locale to English US.

I post my story here and hope it could help the players who suffer from the same.

At the same time, I think if an amatuer could fix this, you EA definitely would do it better.

Thanks.
