Windows 10: DX11 Issue

Hello! So I've been having a DX11 issue with a new game I got that used to work Day of Dragons. I've already gone over this with one of the DOD admins, we tried probably everything in the book. I will list everything we've tried so far down below. I'm not sure what else to say, so if you have any questions, please ask! I'm also not sure if this is the right topic to post this on.


1. Restarting my computer

2. Reinstalling the game

3. Rolling back to previous updates on my video driver

4. Installing the latest patch

5. Updating my graphics card driver

6. Checking my DirectX version DirectX 12

7. Updating Windows

8. Verified my game files on steam

:)

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

 

F1 2017 dx11 vs dx12

@Burgurne,

If the game is only DX11, then even if you have a DX12 GPU (video card), and a DX12 OS (Windows 10), the game will only run is DX11 as that the mode the game was designed to run in. In order to run in DX12 mode you need 3 things....

• Game must be a DX12 title
• GPU must be DX12 capable
• OS must support DX12

If any of those things at missing, the game will run in the lowest DX mode available to the lowest item. In your case it appears the game is only DX11 capable, so your DX mode will be 11. Also be aware that the DX API is backwards compatible, which means DX12 can play older DX games - 8 - 11 for example. That even though the OS is DX12 capable, doesn't mean a DX9 title is automatically elevated to DX12.

Here's a list of DX12 supported games - List of games with DirectX 12 support - Wikipedia.

Hope that answers your question.

BTW What is the game title in question?

 

F1 2017 dx11 vs dx12

Yes, I know that if a game is listed as DX11, then it will stay at DX11, but as I wrote in #0, there are these 4 files in the gamedir after installing the game:
GFSDK_SSAO_D3D11.win64.dll
GFSDK_SSAO_D3D11_UWP.win64.dll
GFSDK_SSAO_D3D12.win64.dll
GFSDK_SSAO_D3D12_UWP.win64.dll

And it looks to me, as if the last file is in fact DX12 in a 64bit windows, but how to activate it?

The game is this:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/515220/F1_2017/
and it is a DX11 game, but with some dx12 files in gamedir after an update.
