DirectX Problem

[Arch]

Before you go sending me to update DirectX, please read my whole post.

So, just recently, I've been getting this little bug dealing with DirectX. Sometimes the Launcher launches fine and the game plays as normal, and sometimes it Launches, turns to a gray screen and pops up with an error message window. And again, I've had no problems up until a few days ago.

Close out that window and the launcher appears this pops up.

I checked the forums about the DirectX bug and grabbed the latest version to see if I needed to update. Ran the .exe file and this was the result.

It doesn't do this every time and started occuring recently. Sometimes, I just need to re-run the Launcher and it works. And other times, I have to shut down my computer for the game to run again. Any way to fix this?

Hmm, running any mods such as Legions Lite?

I got that error a bunch of times but I figured out why. When I connected my laptop to a bigger screen (like my TV), I changed my resolution to a high value. Later when I played on my laptop screen, that error popped up. Figured it was because it was set to a higher resolution than the one my laptop can handle, and changing it back to my native resolution via Preferences file fixed it. If that's the same scenario, this might help. Otherwise it's something else.

I did do that. Changed it back to my native res but the error still appears.

EDIT: Checked the Console text file and found this at the bottom. Don't know if it would be of any help

EDIT: Redownloaded the launcher and it seems to work. We'll see if it fixed the issue.
