Step By Step DX11 HD Textures Workaround<br />

QUOTE<br />

For those crashing with DX11, I believe I may have a procedure to avoid this and enjoy textures at Dx11. Its worked for me in over a dozen tests, but can't promise it'll work for you. If you really want to at least "try" and use the HD Textures, then give these a shot.<br />

You MUST follow every step:<br />

Step 1: set uplay in offline mode, and restart it<br />

Step 2: in gamerprofile.xml set "useD3D11=0"<br />

Step 3: make xml "read only" under properties (this will force the dx9.exe the next time<br />

uplay launched)<br />

Step 4: close uplay again, and relaunch in offline mode<br />

Step 5: launch game, then exit game but not uplay.<br />

!!!IMPORTANT!! Don't close uplay!<br />

Step 6 de select "read only" on gamerprofile.xml<br />

Step 7: go back into gamerprofile.xml and set "useD3D11=1"<br />

Step 8: set xml to "read only" again<br />

Step 9: Play!!!<br />

(you'll see in the ingame video section, dx11 is enabled with all options avail)<br />

<div style='float:left;' class='liste_li'><ul class='simple'><li>***Remember, if you close uplay, you'll have to do this again****</li></ul></div><div class='clearer'></div>
<br />

Figured this out when i restarted my computer, thus restarting uplay. Since xml was set to useD3D11=1, uplay used dx11.exe to launch and so it crashed. After doing these steps, I'm crash free again<br />

If this doesn't work, you'll need to play in dx9 if you want the textures. Honestly, its difficult to make a strong argument to use dx11 over dx9 in FC3. (kind of an exceptional to the rule, IMO)
