Pvz Gw DirectX Mantle problema

PVZ Garden Warfare DirectX Mantle Crash Fix
I'm using an AMD Radeon RX 480 on Windows 10 to run this game. One day I feel like to try out the Mantle API that AMD GPU is good at. Instead of gaining the performance boosts, the game won't even launch. It keeps spouting DirectX Mantle error message and refuse to start.

Mantle function "grGetExtensionSupport(m_gpus[gpuindex], "GR_WSI_WINDOWS")" failed with GR_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE. GPU: "" (0), Driver: 0

Too bad, so I need to revert back to DirectX 11 API but there are no pre-launcher settings that can be run in this game. So I looked around the installation and save folders and found out that the game saved the settings inside this file: "<User's Document Folder>\PVZ Garden Warfare\settings\PROF_SAVE_profile". Open that file in Notepad and search for "GstRender.GraphicsAPI" and change the following number to 0 (zero) then save. Re-Launch the game, It should solve the issue.
