[Launch error] "Error Creating Enfusion Engine"

[Nina]

Some of you have come across this error while trying to start DayZ:

Error creating enfusion engine
Error creating enfusion engine, possible errors are:
*GPU not supported
*GPU drivers not actualized
*DirectX broken
*other kind of error

Simply put, this most likely means that your graphics card is too old and does not support DirectX 11, which is a minimum requirement to run DayZ as of version 0.60.

But I was able to play before!

Prior to version 0.60, DayZ was using legacy code that tied the old renderer (DX9) to client-side simulation, which was causing a performance bottleneck, which meant that you would not be able to reach a high framerate no matter how powerful your computer was. The new renderer (DX11) no longer has this bottleneck, and enables new tech to be used more easily without having to work with the limitations of an outdated system.

This change was long coming, and it's been talked about in numerous Status Reports.

But how do I fix it?

Do all of the following:

• Buy a new graphics card. (cheap)
  AMD: At least Radeon HD 5450 or newer
  NVIDIA: At least GeForce GT 430 or newer
  
  
• Ensure that you have DirectX 11 installed properly.
  
  
• Download the latest drivers for your graphics card.
  AMD: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download
  NVIDIA: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx

If you've completed all steps, post a comment below and include your graphics card.

I don't know what my graphics card is.

You can find your graphics card with DxDiag:

1. open Start Menu
   
2. click Run (or use search)
   
3. type in dxdiag and press Enter
   
4. go to the Display tab
   
5. check "Name" under "Device"

To see which version of DirectX your card supports, check "DDI Version" under "Drivers."

Error creating enfusion engine

I tried launching DayZ 0.60 today, and I am getting an error:
Error creating enfusion engine, possible errors are:
*GPU not supported
*GPU drivers not actualized
*DirectX broken
*other kind of error

I have DirectX 11, so thats not the problem. Anyone know? I couldn't find any other information on this issue.

What is your graphics card?

Thats the patch which now tells you do not have a DX11 capable card!!

I'm not sure what my graphics card is, but it can tell you its really crappy. It's the built in one that comes with i3s

I do have DX11, I can provide a screenshot of dxdiag

That doesnt realy mean anything. My main Dxdiag page says Dx11 aswell but im running a card that can only do Dx10. Do a dxdiag and go to the display tab and see what DDI version it gives.

Ooh, I see. Thanks for the help. I guess I'll have to save up for a better computer :/

[Dinohtar]

If that is the problem you dont realy need a whole new machine. Just a seperate graphics card capable of running Dx11. The older generations are pretty cheap. I would suggest asking the help of a friend who knows computers or a good store who can help you.

I've been wanting a better rig for a while now, this is just giving me a viable excuse

Всем привет. У меня та же проблема. Я посмотрел версию DDI 11.1. Но в чем тогда проблема?

[SHΔPE.z|Violator]

Very hard. Dx11 allows the devs to do thing that Dx9 just cant. So its imposisble to support both if you want to use the full capability's of Dx11.
