DirectX11 should be disabled by default or checked at 1st start.

I suggest either to disable DirectX11 by default (not as good as the 2nd suggestion), or, if possible, built a check-procedure into the installer/program to see if the client system is capable of running DirectX11 and only then to turn it on. There is already a reply in the bug-section of someone who got rid of crashes this way (disabling DX11), besides I myself have WinXP & only DirectX9 installed, my GPU doesn't support DX11 and still it was on at first start. It was intuitive thinking of me to go into settings before starting the game and see what options it provides. So I noticed the DX11 checkbox and unchecked it. The client then started some changes, downloaded something else, updated itself again and I started playing. No idea what could have happend if I let it on DX11 though, but seeing how it crashed someone else's game I imagine it could lead into problems.

We do auto-detect Dx11 -- turning it off in Windows XP will make not difference at all for you.

You might be right. But it came to my mind after reading this:

I was checking the forums and found something about directx 11, so the idea came up to my mind... i opened the launcher, clicked the little gear icon and deactivated the directx 11.... PROBLEM SOLVED no more crashes

Win Xp doesn't have DX11, not even DX10...
