HD Textures causes game to crash
I have had Far Cry 5 since it was first released and never had any problem with game crashes, until today.
Problem:
I enabled HD Textures In the game this morning under
Option > Video >Quality => HD Textures [Enabled] and applied the changes & restarted the game.
Then I was able to play for about 15 min. or so then it crashed to the desktop and Uplay.
Restart of the game and multiple crashes between 5 min.- 20 min. thereafter.
Error code: Unknown file version (D:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\games\Far Cry 5\bin\D3DCompiler_4.dll)
I even did check the file integrity in Uplay settings menu for Far Cry 5.
Then I realized (just as I suspected the first time) that it was in fact HD Textures that was the root cause of this problem, so I disabled HD Textures and restarted the game.
No problem after more than 4 hours of game play.

[Edit] Btw. I did find the file d3dcompiler_47.dll (using Windows Explorer) dated 2018-03-27 under D:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\games\Far Cry 5\bin\
I wrote D3DCompiler_4.dll in my error description above, probably misreading the name.
