I'm glad to know you managed to fix it, unfortunately I don't have a Restore System before the 9GB patch so I can't do it but I did try Uninstalling/Reinstalling the game and I still get the same error.

Yeah you're right, the minimum requirements to run this game is Windows 7 but something is going on with Epic Games and Windows 7, those guys apparently hate Windows 7 now or something. This same issue recently happened with another game from Epic Games and the one having that issue is also using Windows 7, take a look: Epic Games is screwing this up pretty badly, I hope they fix this sh!t.

Yeah, Windows 7 have DirectX 11 support, it always did. Hell this game was working perfectly fine but once that recent patch came out it stopped working, Epic Games apparently are screwing with Windows 7 users. Dumb move by Epic Games. DirectX 11 is working perfectly fine in my PC with the other games, this is the first issue that I have regarding DirectX 11 in my PC, I've never had these type of issues before.

Thank you for your help mate. I believe this issue is an Epic Games issue though (I may be wrong...), I've seen some people having this same issue recently but with an update from a different game from Epic Games, the game is Iddle Champions of the Forgotten Realms. It seems that Epic Games hates Windows 7 now and is forcing people to move to Windows 10. Here is the same issue for that other game:

I have Pillars of Eternity - Definitive Edition installed from Epic Games and I was playing it and all but after the recent 9GB update the game is not working anymore, I'm getting this error: I even updated my GPU driver just now to the latest version: Nvidia v466.27 and I'm still getting that same error. I was pretty far ahead on this game already and I don't want all those hours I poured into the game to go to waste. Any help is appreciated. This is my system specs: [CPU]: Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz [GPU]: EVGA GeForce GTX 970 Superclocked ACX 2.0 4GB GDDR5 [PSU]: EVGA SuperNOVA G1 1000W (80 Plus Gold) [RAM]: Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600MHz [MOBO]: MSI Z97-GAMING 5 [PC CASE]: ENERMAX Ostrog GT (Red) [CPU FAN]: Cooler Master: Hyper 212 EVO [OPERATING SYSTEM]: Windows 7 SP1

I use Windows 7, you are using Windows 7 too. Now I know exactly what happened, I've recently found out that Obsidian Entertainment is owned by Microsoft, unfortunately Microsoft ended support for Windows 7 and hence, any new update from any Microsoft game won't work on Windows 7 anymore. Goddamn that really pissed me off, people using Windows 7 are screwed now.

I'm getting that same error message after that recent 9GB update, I'm playing Pillars of Eternity - Definitive Edition from Epic Games. This is how the error looks like: Any help is appreciated.

Perfect, thanks for those tips. What about my other question regarding the character I should use for the Mechanic skill?

Thanks for those awesome tips, I appreciate it mate. Maybe I screwed up because I picked the Cat form but apparently Boar form is better, I also ditched Veteran's Recovery and picked something else (Weapon Focus: Peasant), darn it, should I spend money and reroll those points again? I'm trying to go for The Thundercat build but using a Moon Godlike instead because I wanted that extra heal but this build appears to be out of date: Is The Thundercat build still viable in the expansion The White March? also, which character should I use for the Mechanic skill?, should I recruit a new Rogue and go ham on Mechanics on him or should I use Aloth, Kana or maybe Durance? when Durance joined the party he already had 3 points in Mechanic so should I keep investing Mechanic points on him or go with the other options? I'm probably thinking in making Aloth or Kana the Mechanic because I put 7 points in Lore on them and I'm realizing that Lore is a bad skill, I probably won't be using Scrolls that much so yeah... I'm thinking in resetting their talents and start from the beginning with one of them and go full ham with Mechanic but I need some advice by someone experienced to point me to the right direction, I don't want to screw this up. Also, in the 2 weapons style should I be using something like a staff, a sword or 2 handed crossbow? I'm thinking that a 2 handed crossbow would help me pull the enemy and do some ranged damage in case Cat form runs out of time. I quite don't understand the skill Weapon Focus: Peasant, is this skill activated on 2 handed weapons (2 handed sword, 2 handed crossbow, etc...) or dual handed weapons (a weapon in each hand)? Edit: Nevermind on that last part, I just figured out that Weapon Focus: Peasant and Two Weapon Style are 2 different skills, when you said Two Weapon Style I was thinking that I should be using a 2 handed weapon but Two Weapon Style is actually a skill for dual wielding weapons.

I'm not new to RPG's but I'm definitely new to these type of CRPG's, I've never played Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, etc... Anyway, I recently started playing this game, my main is a Moon Godlike Druid and I'm playing it on hard difficulty and boy, this game is pretty hard, I've struggled like hell clearing the Temple of Eothas even with 5 characters (the ones who joins your party), most of them lv 3, in most of the encounters in the 2nd level 1 or 2 of my characters dies and when someone dies I reload the game because I don't want any of my characters dying and this got me frustrated a lot, I finally cleared it with all of them alive but this was absurdily hard. That being said, I'm definitely playing this game wrong, I suck at micro management and this game seems to be built around it and I don't want to lower the difficulty either because that won't be fun either but from what I can see so far, having 2 tanks is a must in early game and having someone with 10 Mechanic is also a must because those freaking traps will 1 shot you so you need to disarm them. What am I suppose to be doing with my Druid? I want a build that focus on shapeshifting and surviavility I guess? I don't want it to tank, I rather have him dealing DPS but I also want him to stay alive longer because he seems to be a bit squishy. What type of weapons, armors, etc... am I supposed to be wearing in my Druid?
