Question

DirectX error: Battlefield 4 won't start anymore after updating from Win 8.1 to Win 10.

Anonymous

The directx error I get:

DirectX function "CreateDXGIFactory1 (__uuidof(IDXGIFactory),(void**)(&m_DxgiFactory-assignGET())))" failed with E_INVALIDARG ("An invalid parameter was passed to the returning function."). GPU: "", Driver:

I updated AMD Catalyst Control Center to 15.7.1

If I run dxdiag I get the following hint:

DirectX Version: 12

DX Setup Parameters: Not found

I reinstalled directx via dxsetup.exe in Battlefield 4\__Installer\directx\redist and repaired the game via Origin, deinstalled Catalyst and reinstalled it. Also tried to reinstall directx with DirectX End-User Runtimes Web Installer but it does not work because it recognizes that I have an up to date directx.

What else can I try?

I even deleted Catalyst again, ran Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) and reinstalled Catalyst again. Thank you for help.
