Dune: Awakening

Crash on Launch
The Character Creation/Benchmark crashes on launch at the first image (Seizure Warning). No crash report, no error message. Just shuts down.

DirectX 12 is not supported on your system. Try running without the -dx12 or -d3d12 command line argument.

??? If dx12 wasn't supported on his system, I don't think the game would launch at all.

Same here... Intro and then crash

List windows version, including service pack version and hardware.

You can launch the game and then crash as UE5 really starts up with DX12_1.

For some reinstalling graphic drivers with the "clean installation" option checked solves this.

Nope, it's just crash on start. Nothing seems to work. Maybe they pulled out the thing?

Right click the game's title and select Properties.

On the General tab you'll find Launch Options section.

Enter the following in launch options: -w 1080

Sadly I havent found a fix yet.
Speccs are:
AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D 12-Core x4.4GHz
64GB Ram DDR5-6400 DIMM
12GB NVIDIA Geforce RTX 4070 Ti Suprim X
Windows 10.
Except for updating to Win11 I can't find a reason what the problem could be.
No Crashreport/Error Msg

No Crashreport/Error Msg

Is all service packs and updates applied to Windows 10?
Also try a clean graphics driver install. There is a checkbox in the Nvidia installer for a clean installation.

I will try on the weekend. Thanks for the advice.
Really helps to look at the crash dump on your system to pinpoint the issue. Open the event viewer in Windows:

Press the Win+R keys and type eventvwr at the command prompt then enter

Look at the left hand pane, expand Windows logs, and select System

The actions menu will display a list of events. Sometimes, under the Administrative Event tab you can see an error directly and some can be ignored but more often than not, you'll get a look that will point you in the right direction. If you see an event, that lists the source as "application error" these can sometimes be very helpful, displaying the application that faulted.

Others like "DistributedCom" or "Kernal-EventTracing" are usually just noise.

Hope you can pinpoint the issue

P.S. I wouldn't mess with anything else until you take a look here first.

I am having same issues. It gets to the Warning: Risk Of Seizures screen, gets around to the third turn on the top exclamation point and stops. If I wait for a while it will kick me out and ask to send a report error to FunC
I have rtx 5080 but I played the same scene 5 times. The game freezes and the PC crashes while fighting with the 3rd person. They also advertised that it supports dlls 4, it's a shame. What they did is very shameful.
