switched to DX12. Launcher crashes, game doesn't load.
After I enabled DX12, I applied settings and read the dialog box that informed me I needed to restart the game in order for the settings to take effect.
I shut down the game, reloaded... CRASH. Reboot the machine, reloaded the game... CRASH.
Now I can't get into the game to turn off DX12. How do I disable DX12 from outside the game?
[SOLVED]
EDIT: If you're comfortable editing the settings file you can turn off DX12 and reload your game.
1) open file @ C:\Users\[username]\Documents\My Games\Tom Clancy's The Division\GFXSettings.TheDivision.exe.xml
2) find line 14 in the XML file @ <OPTION Name="DirectX 12" Registered="True" Type="Bool" Value="true" />
3) set true to false @ <OPTION Name="DirectX 12" Registered="True" Type="Bool" Value="false" />
4) save and reload the game.
