    I have Directx12 but the games wont let me play them unless I have Directx11.


    I am trying to play a game that needs Directx11, it will not let me play it unless I find a way to download it. Unfortunately, I don't have a way, I've tried old questions that have been answered on these Forums but all the links give me the Error 404 page. Please help me.

    :)

    DirectX12 compatible with DirectX11 games (Fortnite)?

    I recently downloaded Fortnite, but cannot launch it. Whenever I try to launch it, it says that the engine requires DirectX11. I checked my DirectX and it says that I have DirectX12. A lot of threads say that Fortnite runs on DirectX12, too. Can Fortnite
    run on DirectX12? If not, can I switch to DirectX11? I also have a bad feeling that it's my GPU. I currently have integrated Intel UHD graphics.

    DirectX11

    Hello everyone,

    I have a question for you if you can help. I have a PC with NVIDIA GT 710 graphical compatibilities and INTEL (R) processor Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz, 4 GB RAM and 64bit operational system. I have Windows 10 installed and DirectX12 also.

    My question is if it is possible to set up DirectX11 while I am having DirectX12. I would like to play some games but doesn't work because I don't have DirectX11 installed on it.

    Thank you for your answers in advance.

    Directx12

    Hi Gang,

    I need some help. I was playing Total War: Warhammer the other day, and I noticed that it (the game) said that I was using Directx11, I ran my DxDiag and it (my laptop) says I'm using Directx12! I'm a little confused as I think it's causing my laptop to
    run slower, resulting in lower frame rates in games (like the one mentioned above).

    Any help would be super in solving this issue.

    All the best,

    James.
