I was messing with settings and I changed the direct x version. I wasn't thinking. I heard from another forum that you may be able to uninstall and then reinstall the game. This didn't work. I have even looked in the MWO directory and have found no "systemoverrid.cfg". I know my computer can handle MWO, and on Windows 10. This being that I have played the game on this computer for a while so its not something wrong with my computer. Can someone please help me? Thanks-

Nevermind. I have found out how to fix it and help anyone eles out with this problem. What you can do is look up "game.cfg" in the MWO directory. Use notepad to open this. Warning, this will not work with all .cfg files. What you can then do is if you have the game set for dx11 or something like that, you can erase 11 and replace it with 9. Do not replace it with 9c or the game will not know how to render properly. After this, start the launcher and you should be able to start up the game perfectly well.

Oh and one last thing, don't change the dx version to 10, for mwo doesn't use that. And also, avoid changing the direct x version in the future.
See yah on the battlefield,

Use the search function in your start menue. It would apear that Windows 10 does not like MWO on DX11, I had to switch it back to 9 this way to make it work again.

Other wise the directory should be C:\users\(Your microsoft username here)\savedgame\mechwarrioronline
