DirectX function "res" failed with E_UNEXPECTED.

I get this message out of the blue every time I start to open the game. I have tried reinstalling, updating my gpu drivers, updating my Windows.

The game used to work fine but after some update I have not been able to play it at all. Anyone has had the same issue?

Same, did you find something to fix it?

I found this and for absurd as it seems it worked for me!

Press Windows key + R to open up a Run dialog box. Next, type ‘regedit’ and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter to open up the Registry Editor with admin access.
Opening up the Registry Editor
When you’re prompted by the User Account Control, click Yes to grant admin access.
Once you’re inside the Registry Editor, use the left-hand side menu to navigate to the following location:
HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Cryptography\
Note: You can either get here instantly by pasting the location directly into the nav bar at the top or you can manually double-click each Registry entry.
Once you arrive inside the correct location, move over to the right-hand menu and right-click on machineGUID .
Next, click on Modify from the context menu that just appeared.
Editing the MachineGUID string
Next, replace the value of the MachineGuid string with the following and click Ok to save the changes:
