    As much as you want to believe it's a problem on SE's end, if that were the case, yours wouldn't be the sole complaint in the Tech Support forums about this error. Even if you believe nothing changed on your machine, the following could happen without your knowledge:

    - A driver or an entire program could auto-update; or
    - Big, beefy, uber-hardware could fail

    It's best to take the previous poster's advice and try to troubleshoot either your hardware or your connection before jumping on SE to 'fix it now'.

    I get the frustration, but unless you are post #231 in a thread where every player is complaining about the same DirectX error, it's likely not an error on SE's side.

    Aside from the advice clock speeds and overlays that Larirawiel offered, I offer some rather basic troubleshooting advice that anyone should do when faced with a computer issue. These are things you definitely want to do before you get into more involved hardware and connection fixes (similar to how if your car wouldn't start, you'd check the battery and fuel level before going ahead and replacing the starter and/or engine.)

    - Cycle (turn off/on) your computer, your router, your modem, and any other hardware you might have involved in your internet setup (signal boosters, etc.)
    - Reinstall DirectX in case there is an issue there (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/down...ils.aspx?id=35)
    - Though your framerate is gonna be garbage, try onboard graphics instead of your 3070 for a bit. No error? Focus on video card / power supply / drivers.

    Good luck!
