    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.

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.")

    @Nodoubt42

    The dxdiag lists panda is crashing previously , has this been occuring at the same time as battlefront ?

    if you press the windows key and type reliability , open the reliability history is there any further indications of things occurring beside battlefront ?

    What is listed, if you double click on a entry it provides further details

    Have you tried reverting to 362.00 nvidia driver just to tick that off at all, couldn't see it on things you have tried.

      I have not noticed panda crashing at all.

      The reliability history mentions PSUAmain crashing about 2 minutes after battlefront does. Wouldnt know what to do with the details, its just a bunch of numbers and letters, would you need that info?

      Also, i just tried reverting to Nvidia 362.00 driver with no result.

      It may also be worth mentioning the game randomly managed to launch the other day, but after shutdown and startup later that day the same error popped up again. I havent been able to launch it anymore since
