Directx encountered an unrecoverable error.

[{\(@)^(@)/} ICU]

I have tried 4 different drivers including
ones from microsoft, re-installed the game once
tried to install an earlier version of Directx
(windows 8.1 wouldnt allow that) and spent hours
looking through posts on steam and cannot find
an answer to this problem. Please help.

Directx encountered an unrecoverable error.
Check the readme for possible solutions.

Having just laid out for new Hdd...Cpu...Psu and Mb I have run out of cash....so I must now be grounded for another month :) Such is life

[Unholy Eve]

Your GPUs under the minimum and your latest installed GPU drivers are 2 1/2 years old.

This is the latest driver fix I have tried....Intalled latest ...first...beta ...and microsots drivers and all have failed.

ACTIVISION better be working around the clock to get a patch out, none of the recommended fixes work.

The DirectX Encountered an Unrecoverable Error

Fix1

If your machine checks out it’s likely that you’re getting this error because of your display settings

Right click your desktop

Choose “screen resolution”

Click “Make text and other items larger or smaller”

In Windows 7 make this 100% or smaller. In Windows 8 drag the toggle all the way to the left (smaller)

Reboot your machine and launch the game. Voila, you’ve just fixed the DirectX has encountered an unrecoverable error.

Fix2

Harddrive D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Call of Duty Advanced Warfare

click on both the .exe files, go to properties, then on the compatibility tab

check “disable display scaling on high DPI…”


this worked for me :)

Hey man I tried doing this, but when I got to the compatibly tab it wouldn't allow me to check off any of the settings.

Looks like your GPU doesn't support DX11, if so you're screwed.You need a card which can run dx11

it will never fix it for you as a 260gtx is 4 years old and a directx10 card and cannot play this game.

[Captain Obvious]

DX11 is a hardware requirement girls and guys........ You can have DX11 installed but if your gpu doesn't support it, it won't work.

Solved, Next....

[Sic.bn]

This game is crap. Unoptimized POS. Crashed all day long.

It maybe installed, but we need to know what graphics card you are using. Is it Nvidia or AMD?
You can find out by doing this: Help > System Information.

[MrDJ]

we need your dedicated graphics card number

[Captain Obvious]

And again, DX11 is not only the software requirement, your hardware ( your graphics card or gpu ) needs to support DX11......

So if DX11 is installed on your pc / laptop it doesn't mean your gpu supports it.
