"DX12 is not supported on your system. Try running without the -dx12 or -d3d12 command line argument."

Error when loading game:
"DX12 is not supported on your system. Try running without the -dx12 or -d3d12 command line argument."

I have DX11, but I -dx12 and -d3d12 aren't in the .exe's command line. Is there a fix for this or can I not play the game at all?

I posted this in the separate "Anvil Play_Test" forum -- it's super confusing the game has TWO forums, and one is linked to the store page; and the other is linked to the PlayTest store page, I think.

Just a reminder if you're not on Windows 10, you need to add:
-dx11

To your Steam shortcut for the game, to get the game to run. :)

Right click the Anvil entry or shortcut name in steam; choose PROPERTIES; add -dx11 in the Launch options window; close the properties window. Should be good to go then.

And in my earlier demo experience it then ran fine on Windows 8.1, and I didn't feel like it was running slow or I was missing anything visually.
===========
I'm trying to get the devs to either sticky my posts on this, or they should make their own Stickied forum post to help Win 7/8 players get the playtest working. :)

Thank you BlackjackGT, I should have thought of that. it worked fine!

It's not intuitive, and the game gives a confusing explanation instead of just saying "hey you enter -dx11 in your Steam launch options and you're good to go." :)

I think I only knew because some other games I have (Everspace 2) or tried (The Riftbreaker demo) require this too.

I do think I'll eventually move to Win10, I guess I'm waiting for a game that's truly Win10-only to knock my socks off and force me. :)

how do you do that though???

I have windows 10 and when I play this game it still says "dx12 not supported on your system"

Glad it still helps. :) I did have to move on to WIndows 10 myself due to teleworker requirements in using Microsoft's Office stuff.
