DX12 if you have the proper hardware.

My game runs way better with dx12 and textures load faster. Older gpu that wont run dx12 will not even launch if you use d3d12 in launch properties. If its a new enough card then try d3d12 in your launch properties and try it.

I also notice better performance with DX12, with a 3070 Ti. Higher GPU usage yet lower power consumption, somehow. I suspect that means it's well optimized for DX12.

In the release notes for one of the recent Nvidia drivers (6 months ago?) it said something like 'Dramatically (they used that word) increased DX12 performance for RTX 30xx and above GPUs'.

The game runs in DX11 as default, so put -DX12 in the launch properties for the game in Steam (right click game in library and select properties to find the command bar). Or -d3d12 like scar4u said

i have a I9 and a GTX1080; perhaps the card wont run in DX12 ?

ah i think i have it as std. Direct 3D 12_1 my Nvidia system say...thats why i never noticed a difference with this -dx12 command line :-)

I wonder why its not an ingame option to run DX11 or DX12.
I do notice about 30 fps better on a 12900K and 3090 GPU, how ever the fps jumps up and down , im playing everything on high and run it in 1440 with 120-160 fps.
But i do feel the games just feels better in DX11 as the FPS are way more stable.

I use a GTX 1080. The game runs about 3-5 FPS faster with DX11 but the game looks slightly better with DX12

After the latest update (today), I tried DX12 for the first time. No more annoying pop-in and the frame rate was high and rock steady! (Pop-in really breaks the immersion.) With DX11 I would get some stutter when driving fast. With DX12 that is 99% gone. (I drive the vehicles only rarely, but it is nice to have things working correctly). On my machine, WOTH clearly runs better with DX12. ROG Strix LC 3080TI, 11900K, 32GB

For me personally, DX12 caused persistent crashes, but DX11 works like a charm. All depends on each user's specific hardware set up though, and I'm happy to hear some of you are having a better experience with DX12.

DX12 works now better for me; smooth and the trees looks better too !

If you click "Don't ask me again" it shouldn't. if you clicked that and it still pops up every time, please report it via the following link, thanks.

WOTH will run smoother in DX12 on compatible hardware. For everyone experiencing stability issues or visual glitches on DX12 due to specific hardware configuration, you should have a perfectly great experience on DX11 :)

If I launch the game whilst online, it does ask me. If I launch it offline, it doesn`t.

One player had a similar issue, but verifying game files fixed it. Can you please try it too? Right-click the game while it's closed -> Properties -> Local Files -> Verify Integrity of game files. Then launch it again and see if it's fixed. If the issue persists, can you please report it via the link mentioned above, please:

Verified the game files, and launched the game whilst still online, but it didn`t ask me.

I then went offline, and launched the game, and still it didn`t ask me.

So the message has disappeared for me.

Also getting a lot of black screen for a few seconds whilst going from screen to screen and when I exit the game, it says "running" in the library section, and stays like that until I click stop.

Will report it next.

There should probably be an option in Steam to get the message back if you checked the box to not see it anymore. Would be strange if not?

I always keep those pop-up messages in games enabled though, so haven't looked into how to get it back myself.

Good luck!
