Will not launch unless I force DX11

[TheDizzle78]

Is there a known fix to run this game in DX12? I click PLAY and it tries to load and just goes right back to the Steam menu. If I use -dx11 in the launch properties, it runs fine. Any way to not have to run it in DX11?

Anyway, the game just runs better with DX11.

When the game launched, my performance with DX12 was very rough. I switched to DX11 and noticed an immediate difference. I never switched back.

Think I figured it out. Updated the Intel driver and it launched.

Yeah I didn't have any issues running in DX11, but some graphical features were not available in DX11.

Make sure the game is using the dedicated GPU.
Reinstall your drivers and get rid of the nvidia app while you are at it.
