DirectX error on startup causes crash
I cant play the game any longer, starting it up will immediately trigger a directx error. Ive tried a whole list of things to fix it. Ive gotten 3 emails by 3 employees with about 20 steps that could potentially fix it, all with no result. The error reads:
DirectX function "screen->m_swapChain->ResizeBuffers(settings->getTripleBufferingEnable() ? 3 : 2, screen->m_info.windowWidth, screen->m_info.windowHeight, DXGI_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_UNORM, DXFI_SWAP_CHAIN_FLAG_ALLOW_MODE_SWITCH)" failed with DXGI_ERROR_INVALID_CALL ("The application provided invalid parameter data; this must be bugged and fixed before the application is released.") GPU: "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 ", Driver: 36510
I got this error after playing about 9 hours of the game.

So I just fixed the issue for me.
Had the exact same error message with a GTX 970.
I uninstalled curse and it seemed to run just fine.
Uninstall or disable any other programs with overlays (i.e. origin overlay, curse, etc.)
Until the next nVidia driver comes out I'd keep these programs disabled.
