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: 36510I 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.

Yes I have also seen reports of curse overlay causing this error , glad to hear you have found your solution.

@Nodoubt42

When they got you to do a clean boot it was as per this link ?

Edit - have you uninstalled panda as a test to make sure it isn't related to this issue ?

Yep that works and thx for the fix, but a less extreme method is to open Curse, go to Settings -> In-Game and disable the Star Wars Battlefront In-Game Overlay.

^ That's what I did. I wasn't sure if it was a Curse, Battlefront, or Nvidia update that broke overlay compatibility, but from what I'm seeing here it looks like it was Nvidia. Let's hope this gets fixed, because I enjoy having the overlay in-game!

I fixed it i had to uninstall curse or at least close the app when I played the game, If you don't want to do that you could probably get rid of the on screen chat bar in curse settings, thanks to the guy who originally said this👍
