Original Post — Direct link

A couple days ago I started encountering this error when I try to play For Honor (Steam version), and now the game will not start:

It worked the day before, and nothing had changed on my PC in between my last play session and when this issue started. I've searched for potential solutions online, but nothing has worked so far (reinstalling, scanning file integrity, replacing the dxgi.dll file, updating drivers, etc.). Is anyone else having or has had this problem? Can someone please help?

My PC's specs:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
Intel Core i7 CPU 870 @ 2.93GHz
16.0GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti
WD Black Series 2TB HDD

Hello there everyone.

Thank you for posting the screenshot of this issue in the thread for us.

This particular createdxgifactory2 issue is likely related to a miscommunication between the game and your GPU. Would you be able to tell us if you've updated your graphics drivers recently? Could you ensure these are fully up-to-date?

If these drivers are up-to-date, and the issue persists, please be in touch!
