READ FIRST! Tropico 5 requires a DirectX 11 graphics card!

[Capitan Maximum]

PLEASE CHECK IF YOUR SYSTEM MEETS THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS BEFORE PURCHASING THE GAME OR REPORTING ISSUES!

DirectX 11 support is needed at hardware level, which is why the minimum requirements list graphics cards that have specifically been tested and confirmed to run Tropico 5. For some models (Radeon 4000 series), hardware level 10.1 does suffice, for some others, it doesn't. It also heavily depends on the driver - please make sure you're running the very latest driver available from your graphics card manufacturer if you're experiencing graphical errors and corruption.

If your graphics card does not support the required hardware features, the game may not start at all or display graphical errors.

Having DirectX 11 software installed is no guarantee that your graphics card meets the minimum system requirements. Updated Windows versions which meet the game requirements (Vista SP2 and above) are running DirectX 11 in software.

This is the reason for listing specific graphics card models in the minimum requirements:

- Nvidia GeForce 400 series or higher
- AMD Radeon HD 4000 series or higher
- Intel HD 4000 series or higher

There are no plans to add support for older graphics cards. The game and engine were redesigned from scratch as was requested by many players. The technical modernization calls for new hardware as with many new games. Tropico 5 ist not an exception. The game in its current form would not have been possible on deprecated DirectX 9 hardware and this does not affect visual quality only.

Мне помогло - напишу.
1. Устанавливаем Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows 8 и Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4.
2. Идем в папку Windows\system32\ и запускаем файл dxcpl.exe
3. В открывшемся окне жмем Edit List и добавляем игру по адресу Steam\steamapps\common\Tropico 5\Tropico5Steam
4. Жмем OK. Устанавливаем Feature level limit: 11_0 и ставим галочку на Force WARP.
5. Жмем Apply и OK.
6. Запускаем через стим и играем.

ЗЫ. У меня заработало - может поможет и вам.
зыы. Хотя неиграбельно. даже на скинутых настройуах куча артефактов.
зыы. Кто в курсе где файлик с настройками Тропико 5? проблема при эмуляции 11 директа не в самих текстурах а в эмуляции эфектов как я вижу.

I have a GeForce GT 330m and DirectX 11 but idk if my card is DX11 from a hardware point of view so I guess the game wont work right?

It's not DX11 compliant

[Satoru]

For everyone. If you want to know if your video card is DX11 compliant

1) Open DXDiag
2) DO NOT look at the "DirectX Version" this only tells you if the OS supports it. Not if your video card does.
3) Go to the Display tab
4) Look in the upper right for "DDI Version"
5) Unless this says "11" you are NOT DirectX11 compliant on the video card

Confusing? Blame Microsoft.

^ The G 210 is your problem.
It is not a DX 11 card.
I know it says you have DX 11 in your report...but that is software not hardware.

I have a GTX 650 and DX 11. Why isn't it working for me?

Update your driver, your card is more than sufficient.

Im using a GT230M. And I got also the error like him. When I look at the water all is fine, but if I look on land which can be used to build, the triangles are coming up.

Im using the latest Beta-Driver (337.81) from N-Vidia.

If I knew if it was created from scratch and would only use DirectX 11, I would have never purchased this.

The minimum requires on the store page say hello

The min requirements state DX11 driver with DX10 hardware. It wasnt until launch it was changed to "some DX10 but not all".

Well unless you are running windows XP, youve had DX11 installed as part of windows updates since around 2009. Problem is most cards out there are DX10.

This is the first game this has been a problem for and its far from the most graphics intensive.

I can literally play any other game on the market right now including the new Thief and various other games which are far more graphics intensive; and all of them have a DX10 card support.

There are literally 2 games in the world right now which are DX11 "only"; one is Watch Dogs and the other is Tropico 5.

I wouldn't ask for DX9 support, but DX10 is not unreasonable.

Most of us were blind sided by this. I actually did check the requirements and I meet them. Theif has higher system requirements than Trop5 and plays just fine on my system as do many other games. But now at launch Trop5 only supports certain cards?

Well, I'm not paying $400 to upgrade my graphics cards for 1 game (because to get better cards than what I'm currently running, that's the cheapest I can find).

Every game listed as coming out for the rest of the year still has DX10 support.

Kalypso's position on this is ludicrous. No ones asking for DX9 support; but every other game on the market still has DX10 support. (aside from Watch Dogs; which is being given away FREE with a DX11 video card purchase)

Ive researched dozens of other high profile games on the market released in the last 6 months and every single one of them is more compatible than Trop5, and most are more graphicly intense with higher system requirements.

There is no excuse on the developers part aside from pure incompotence.

I want a refund, it's that simple.

[Linkthehobo]

So anyway to recieve a refund for this product then? System specs looked compatible but I must have missed the DX11 only, how lame.

[Doctor Proteus]

Did it need to use DirectX11 though? As far as I know most people would be using DirectX10.

[Linkthehobo]

My card is a Geforce GTX 275 which is old enough to be dx11 incompatible, sadly.

[olly02]

I have a GTX Titan, dx11, all the drivers are up to date and the game is lagging like hell... i can't even play it, the menu is too slow...

[匚ㄖ尺尺ㄩ卩ㄒ乇ᗪ]

i had the game before this discussion came out.. ik it sayd directx 11 in the store page but some of the directx 11 games work for me just fine.

[redbrothers]

as written above, I ran the game on gtx200. The problem artifacts as to cut down different effect? Where is the configuration file of the game?

Your System needs to meet the minimum system requirements.
Your graphic card has to support Direct X 11.

To play Tropico 5 you need at least a AMD Radeon HD 4000, nVidia Geforce 400 or a Intel HD 4000 or higher to run this game properly.
