The infamous DirectX error, tried everything I could think of

When Dawntrail was released on 2/7, I downloaded it, and played for a few minutes. Then I teleported to Ul'dah, but before the area finished loading, I got a DirectX error. Ever since then, I keep getting the error after selecting any of my characters, but before the location they're in gets loaded into memory. I've played this game for years, and never had any problems with it. I haven't changed anything in my PC setup, but I will say it's ancient. Is there anything I can do to fix the issue?

This is what I've already tried...

  • reinstalled DirectX (even though the error isn't necessarily related to DirectX),
  • repaired the game's data through the launcher,
  • repaired the game's data through Steam,
  • downloaded the entire game again,
  • deleted the game's settings,
  • lowered the video settings to minimum,
  • waited for two NVIDIA driver updates and installed them,
  • set maximum FPS to 60,
  • verified Windows installation with System File Checker,
  • reinstalled Windows.

Nothing helped, and I'm at at a loss. I'd appreciate any help.
