Issues fixed
"DirectX 12 is not supported on your system. Try running without the -dx12 or -d3d12 command line argument." error when starting the game
- The message itself is misleading. It actually means that system does not meet required hardware and/or software level. There is no point in adding or removing such command line arguments.
Update Windows 10 and videocard drivers, check system requirements[2] |
