GAME WON'T LAUNCH IN DX11 possible (FIX)

I've been having this issue for a few days, like so many others and haven't been able to find a fix. I might have found one now though, from some dark corner of the internet.

Some random reddit comment in a reddit thread mentioned GPU SCALING. I've not seen this mentioned anywhere else, so I gave it a shot and now my game loads DX11 without any trouble, atleast for now, lets hope it is a permanent fix.

Anyway here is what to do;
Enter your Nvidia control panel and find something called Adjust desktop size and position. Select a scaling mode: Chose Aspect Ratio. And then click "Perform scaling on:", then chose GPU and NOT monitor.

I did this for both my monitors, I do not know if you have to do it on both, but try it out, because now my POE works in Dx11. I have no idea why this helps. But I hope it helps for everyone else who has this problem.

This might work for ATI aswell, I don't know how to do it on thier interface though.

If anything is unclear, do say so, then I'll try and upload a few images to help the process.

Wow, thanks for this tip. Worked for me!
So...self inflicted crashes because you don't know what your setup requires settings wise....sounds about right.

actually worked for me. POE launched right after I choose "maintain aspect ratio" in my gpu setting.
