SOLUTION: Vertex Shader Crash
This issue has been fixed with the latest installer, but I'm leaving this issue up as a legacy thread just in case someone runs into the issue again somehow.

If you run into a crash that displays "FATAL ERROR in Vertex Shader compilation", you can fix the issue by downloading and installing this DirectX package[www.microsoft.com].

After downloading and extracting, run the DXSETUP.exe to install. Simply downloading and unzipping will not fix the problem.

If you're still seeing the issue after properly installing the runtime, let us know in this thread so we can dig into it further.

Are you running the executable inside of the package you download? There's a first step that only unzips the package but doesn't do anything else. Once you do that you can go to where you unzipped it, find the executable among all of those files and run that.

That crash you're getting just means you haven't installed that version of DirectX on your PC.

Do you have the latest graphics driver from your graphics card company's website (not just from their desktop app if you have one)? That can also cause this issue.

Oh! is a good idea, i try this in this momment >
After install drivers from the web, try one more time, but dont work.

i leave a video recording https://youtu.be/l7IGZIkQrEg
(The Menu character sometimes loading fast, sometimes loading slow)
You can see, all works, teams, life, menu, control, etc. but cant pick a character.

Maybe i need wait for better PC.

I've been having similar problems, but the fixes you present aren't working. I've tried the Directx at the link you provided and I also tried installing and reinstalling directx 12. I made a thread of my own featuring the error message I recieve when trying to select a character(titeled 'I can't select a charcter').

Hey it still happends
