GPU does not support DirectX 11.0 which is required.

So i keep getting the DirectX device creation error:

"Your computer does not meet the minimum requirements for playing this game."

"NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M " GPU does not support DirectX 11.0 which is required.

Now this is the only error i have encountered since i got past the driver update error and the freezing black screen, and at some point after taking a break from trying to fix this problem, i came back, hit Enter and the game worked smoothly, not a single problem ingame..
I thought the problem had fixed itself, so i played for a hour or so, went to make food and when i came back, the same error occurred.

I know that i am running DirectX 11.0 on my computer and this is the first time i have encountered this problem. halp..

Specs:

Windows 8.1
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4700HQ CPU @ 2.40GHz 2.40GHz

Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M

RAM: 16.0 GB


System type: 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor

dxdiag in pastebin:

 EDIT: I have resolved my problem with the game by upgrading from windows 8.1 to windows 10 and then updating all drivers, everything is running smooth now.

    Repeat for the next:

    Since it's nVIDIA's driver causing the problem, and their bad engineering on all of the Optimus abortions, you'll have to complain to them about getting one (driver) that will work, and then forcing your own device to get up off its backside. 

    Already covered.  You should have bought a system with a Radeon GPU, instead.

    Its the GPU - Nvidia Driver Problem that I have been ( and other millions of people ) chasing down to find a solution for  62 days now. 

    Anything Below 359 drivers wont open BattleFront

    Anything Above 355 will mess up all the other games, may or may not run the battlefront after 10-20 restarts for a map and will crash in loading screen.

    So far no luck. You can see the official thread on Geforce forums here but its only pain no solution unless you want to mess with factory settings and gpu temperature

    Good luck and welcome to the club

    I managed to run it with the last 355.xx driver and changing the name of the system32 file to rename.dll

    Game works PERFECTLY smooth on my Lenovo Y50-70. What a disgrace that the developers + Nvdia are so uninterested in this. No wonder PC gaming is not making money.
