DirectX 12 bug (Can't launch game)

I keep getting this error: "DirectX 12 is required to run this application. Please ensure your OS and graphics card support DirectX 12 and try again."

Note, I have direct X 12, and my drivers all say they support it, I have the most recent updates from windows, and all the drivers say they have the best update.

I have DirectX 12 and Intel Iris Xe on Windows 11 and the same issue. Spending all afternoon trying to fix this hoping the best for us.

I have spent so much time on this issue that its ridiculous... reinstalling, writing the code to -force-d3d12 to run with the launcher. I've tried to get help in the alpha 2 discord with no fix either. I'm so pissed off at this point because this issue is just being ignored and I'm being told "its my pc"... clearly its not with this many people having the issue. I've missed out on the last 2 alpha weekends because this is STILL an issue. Idk what else to do.

still no official response to this error. Funny

I have a theory, it appears a lot of these issues are with laptops. What if we go into Nvidia control panel and make the dedicated GPU the default to run for all programs?

I got some help on discord - but all I did was update my Windows 10 drivers to full completion. It hadn't update in sometime and I had to use a Windows Installation Assistant to force through the update. Not sure this helps others - but make sure you are actually all up to date on your version of Windows. GL.

Thanks for sending me the link to this thread - I'm also a laptop user with an NVIDIA GeForce 1650. DX12 is installed and supported by my OS as well. I tried your suggestion in forcing the NVIDIA graphics card on the AoC client but it did not help. I haven't tried forcing on all programmes but if you do please let us know how it goes.

I suspect your guess that it's something to do with laptops is right though unfortunately.

Hi everyone,
I had this same problem and i fixed it going to the NVidia web site to find the driver for my graphic card. I selected the series, the model (Geforce GTx 1060) and downloaded the most recent version of the "Game Ready Driver". I installed it and fixed this issue.

GL for all

I'm getting this issue but I don't have NVidia so it can't possibly help me.

Nvidia hasn't released a driver update for my card in a few years so unfortunately this didn't work for me. I clearly have Directx 12 though, so this isn't a user issue.

Same problem here, I don't use a laptop,
Very disappointed not to be able to play.

I installed a new Windows. Before that I had a pirated one. After installing Windows and the game I had an error related to the DLL. I fixed it and I can finally play.

Having the same issue. Using labtop, have DirectX 12, and still receiving the pop up error when attempting to launch.

Does this require Nvidia Vid card? My laptop doesn't have that brand

smarmyfish
