Used the file command to load DX 9 vers. ran great the first day. Locked up the second day and would not load. Sunday the 8th ran great had a lot of fun. Monday the 9 took 5 min to load and unplayable. If i delete the files and go to reload the game is there a way to just load DX9. and skip the 11 which will not play at all? Thanks for the help

I think you choose dx9 or dx11 by clicking on the dx9 or dx11 executable. I'm not sure there's a way to install only one but there is a way to run only one.

No. You get both 9 and 11, You need 11 for VR, use 9 if you’re not using VR.
Make sure its accepted in your firewall.
Since its a new install you will be downloading maps each time you first use each map. Sometimes the download is slow. There are ways to download them all in Change Terrain section.
Neither dx9 nor dx11 would affect this
-
Still same problem, it will not load as it should stutters and takes forever. Disabled the firewall but that didn't help. Sorry to be a pest but I will take any advice i can. Still opening the file and selection DX9. Then it goes into slow motion or it says not responding.
Frustrated Yaks.

How is your connection? In game there is a "net status" on the note pad. Both lines should be fairly strait across.
Or you could get "pingPlotter" (its a free program)and install that and run pings to the game server
-
LMhosts or hosts file?
-
You haven't mentioned any specs of your computer. The first third of the DxDiag output would help quite a lot.

System Information Hope this helps as i am not too sharp on this stuff - Yaks

Yaks, give us a bit more, up to "sound devices" is more than enough and you can copy/paste it here.

Updating the Nvidia drivers might help some, although for the GTX 1080 the newer versions may not provide any improvements.
Another thing to check is for a newer Bios from the Gigabyte website https://www.gigabyte.com/Support/Consumer/Download (https://www.gigabyte.com/Support/Consumer/Download). You may also have a Gigabyte updater app installed. If so, that'd be an easy tool to update both the motherboard drivers and Bios.
Good thing is, your page file is relatively small which means there's not much background activity. That said, if your system is downloading and preinstalling cumulative updates in the background while you're starting the game, that may affect. Not to mention that the latest Windows updates have caused issues for some.

Thanks for the help, loaded game yesterday , 2-16, ran great was impressed. Today will not load, stutters on the load and takes forever. Thinking seriously about dropping the thing and giving up on years of fun.

Sounds like something with your machine.
Might be worth watching your system resources on the task manager to see if something is taxing your unit.

You may might want to check your memory chips. Possible you have a bad one.

I think that anybody able to post their direct X information should also be able to post what their systray and task manager say.
Even the best system can be brought down by having a billion processes running that aren't necessary.
Does your task manager look like this? Or does it have 4 times as many processes.
