Patch 8.1.5 DirectX

A green MVP in the tech support forums says

One thing I noticed with the reset was that “Triple Buffering” is set as enabled. I had mine set to disabled and this caught my eye. I did some experimenting. That setting jumped my total Ram usage by a good amount - around 500mb. Try disabling there.

Might be something for you to take a look at if you're still seeing problems in DX11L

Also for those like me who were waiting to switch, a blue poster in the tech support forums while discussing crashes similar to those here said

Looking into this it appears the crash is related to a DirectX12 issue our developers are actively looking into resolving via a future patch or hotfix.

Its coming soon, but it doesn't seem a good idea to keep using DX12 right now. IsBoxer can't help us with a bug in the game.

That's a pretty specific crash for DX12 related to only those with AMD GPUs that aren't using updated drivers, and are still running an older version of Windows 10. Not only that, but, from their report, they weren't even able to start the game client, so... if you're experiencing such an extreme issue, then it's apparent right from the get-go that you have something to fix. Otherwise, if you were using DX12 before patch 8.1.5, and can still use it now, then I would expect that you're fine to continue using it.
