Game freezes after switching to DirectX 11?

[timbo]

Hi,
I was having some performance issues a while back and was troubleshooting. As a last ditch effort, I tried switching to DirectX 11. Now when the game boots, it always freezes on the two loading gears before the menu.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but the setting must remain somewhere, because it still freezes.
How can I set it to use DirectX 12 prior to booting?

Ok, that still didn't work. It must be something else. The screen freezes, but the menu music starts and continues until you click twice and close the program. Really wanting to resolve this because I've only been able to play for a few hours since buying it

Thanks, I just figured this out myself and came and saw your post. I don't know when this config file would have been created??
