The same problem here , my spec i7-8700k , 16 Gb ddr 4, gtx 1080ti, windows 10 (1709)
Games starts hangs after windows updates , at 15xx run fine , then decided to update to creator 1703 , game starts hang and during fight reciving direct x error frequently. Udated my OS to Win 1709 last days and still have the same problem.
Did also Direct x reinstall , game file veryfication and clean nvidia drivers installation (latest 188.31 and also oldest)
Need help , other demanding games like VR tittles with tons supersampling runs fine geting my hardware to limit.
This game is only the one with direct x problems and freezes
