DirectX Function Error (Nvidia) - Are you actually serious EA? ( 28.03.17 - 21:34 CEST )

Anyone experiencing unplayable game, refund immediately. The refund policy is set up so you really don’t have a long time until it expires. Money speaks more than tweets and hashtags.

I’m one of the lucky ones and my game works, but I’m rather angry at the devs for not answering or commenting even once. Same with the rental server, information drips out way, way too slowly and late.

EA is a dialect to English. That is why their stuff doesn’t work in our world.

This must be very difficult to fix and they don’t want to fix it, otherwise they wouldn’t be so quick to misinterpret an Nvidia post and point fingers.

Guess i’ll opt for the refund, can get plenty of working games on the Steam halloween sale.

I wish we read that wrong and it was on Nvidias end because then it’d actually get fixed. Too bad.

this is crazy, I come here in hopes to find a solution but with so many people saying this and that, i leave hopeless and more confused

I like DirectX Errors and EA disconnects. That’s the sole reason I play BF1 at the moment. That moment when you are dominating the enemy team on Operations.. not once, not twice, but THRICE and then you get a lovely disconnect or that sweet sugar DirectX Error. hmmmmm. /fapfap

Here is a little summary :

  • No real fix has been found, since the problem is in the code
  • Like usual, EA/DICE don’t give a damn so they just gave us the finger by saying “it’s on NVIDIA hands now”.
  • I was one of the lucky people to not have this problem in BF3 and BF4, but like in these 2 games, this crash will be long and forgotten in 2-3 weeks and every one of us (aka dumb customer) will buy the next game anyway.

TLDR : EA/DICE don’t care and you won’t be able to play this game without crashing.

Wasn’t able to get a refund. Maybe it is related to the fact, that I was “playing” the game nevertheless. I meant trying to play. And didn’t get any feedback, wtf EA? Its been a week already.

Alright, so we now live on a planet where nobody has a clue as to what’s causing this, my original crash report video is going on almost 2 weeks old, and people are now reporting the DX function error with GTX980s and 1070s…

As a software delivery engineer, I understand the rigors of a release and the complexity of moving pieces more than most - but this problem should have been immediately prioritized as a Sev 1 show stopper (based upon the number of afflicted users on this forum thread, alone). We need DICE EA to lean their weight into finding a solution for this.

It’s insane how EA and DICE are handling this. Total unprofessionalism. Bought a lot of DICE and EA games over the years but I think I’ll not buy anymore after BF4 and BF1. The only way to stop this kind of behaviour is to either vote with our wallets or get them media attention to the issue. Us posting on a forum about it, they don’t care because the problem is isolated to us right here. By the look of it people we’re out of luck and they have our money.

2 weeks.

@ThePoolshark, come on man, if you start posting stuff. Please then also take the time to explain it. I know you tried it, be we don’t understand, maybe you can explain it some other way. It would also be nice if you could give us some indicators, like who is working on it. If it’s highest priority right now. (Don’t hope it will still be going on then, but if they release the free map in December before this is fixed, DICE is going to make so many people mad.) Maybe have some indicators for when it’s fixed. Please give us an update man. We wanna play this game.

At this point I’m not sure if they just don’t care about us or too incompetent to fix this issue. I regret buying this game, what a waste of money.

windows 10/ GTX 690/ i7 980x

still having issues, I hope this gets a hot fix soon :frowning:

No fix yet. FeesBadMan :frowning:

Not my place to say anything, you all should know this by now. When someone is able to say something, they will. This has always been the case, messaging gets approval and then the trickle down effect happens until it gets to the person who is able to say it.

In that case, who was it that put you up to posting that NVIDIA forums link? Because it only made ya’ll look incompetent and incapable of basic reading comprehension.

Well to be fair, you’re saying its not your place to say anything yet you just said (quote) -“It has been confirmed by Nvidia that this issue is on their end.” Was that a misunderstanding on your part about what is being said on Nvidia post, or its something that they allowed you to say, i am kinda confused, might want to explain that one …

This is just pure amateurism.

I realllllyyyy hope its the latter and Nvidia has said they can fix it and they just haven’t posted. Maybe someone post in the geforce thread asking if this information is correct?

Then explain why I get the exact same issue on my Rx 480?
