Re: DirectX error on startup causes crash

Heres a dropbox link to my DxDiag: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jcamazbm5ytw68n/DxDiag.txt?dl=0

The steps ive taken are:

-Check pc requirements

-Check for programs conflicting with origin

-Create video card gaming profile

-Update Origin to latest version

-Repair game trough origin

-Clean PC's registry using CCleaner

-Clear Temp files

-Disable origin in game overlay

-Running game as admin

-Preform a clean boot

-Clear origin cache

-update operating system, directx redistributable, .net framework and Microsoft visual studio 2010

-reset internet explorer settings

-repair/reset winsock settings

-Clear DNS resolver cache

- -novid - noborder -windowed in game properties

Also heres the exact error:

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

Sorry, i forgot the exact error was already in the original post

@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

Hi ,@proxos666 ,@Nodoubt42

The situation is very uncertain and most likely has to do with OS( operating system , administrator rights , compatibility all together and none actually 🤓 it's just a weird error ) and it not has to do with Origin in Game or ingame overlays running etc etc

Hi @Nodoubt42 look here to resolve your issue http://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/DirectX-Error-on-startup-of-SW-BF/m-p/5332951#U5332951

@ndawg75

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 ?

@ndawg75 Thanks alot, this worked! Finally a solution!

Thanks to everyone on the post, this will be something to look out for in the future for this and other Frostbite games. 

Cheers!

I had the same problem and just uninstalled curse and inmediatly it worked out! :P 

Wonnderful, thanks for another entry in the big "Confirmed" ledger @Uccello2

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!
