whenever i try to load a server, i get this direct x error after a few seconds of loading. my PC isn't the newest, but it meets the minimum requirements to play bf4. my video card driver is up to date as well (gtx 295, yes old i know)

i understand that the beta has not even been available for an hour yet and that there are problems bound to happen. just would like to know what possible fixes may be available.

For all people have this problem i could fix it.

 

First you have go to  Documents folder.

Search for Battlefield 4

Now  go to settings Folder

Open PROSAVE_profile with Nootbook (wordpad).

Eu will have to search this:

GstRender.OverallGraphicsQuality 0

When found you have to change 0 for 1 so:

GstRender.OverallGraphicsQuality 1

 

This fix this problem for me, with a GTX 295.

Welcome to the Battlefield 4 Beta Madness!

The beta is now in it's first stages and a lot will happen. ONE thing that will sadly not happen is that everything will go smooth. It's a beta, it's designed to find weak points and bugs so the launch of the real game will go smooth. You cannot expect a beta go smooth and everything to work, even if you payed extra to be in the beta.
You can expect all kind of problems like, beta not appearing, downloading, installing or starting. Servers, Battlelog, Origin etc. might also go down or be unstable.

Now, what you can do is:
-Wait! No reason to post questions about things not working if 1000 others have already done so.
-Search for solutions (using the handy dandy searchfields) on Battlelog and AnswersHQ (trust me, 2000 people had this problem before you did Wink )
-Look at Twitter, Facebook, Google+. Battlelog and AnswersHQ for status updates from Battlefield
-Wait for EA and Dice people to identify and fix the problems as they occour
-Look at similar BF3 problems - it's the same engine, many solutions will be the same.
-Chillax, all good things come to those who wait Standard smile
-Realise that you are not directly contacting EA, if you wanted to contact EA, even after reading all this and also knowing that the wait-time is going to be huge, then use the search bar to see how, there's a gazilion posts where it's mentioned.
