How do i know what version of DirectX is running?

[Netrex]

When i start the game from either desktop or start menu shortcut it just launches the game but when i start it from steam it gives me two options to either play with or without DirectX 12

What version of DirectX does the shortcuts use? Can't seem to find out if the game is running in DirectX 12 mode or not.

Can i use a command like -dx12 or something to be sure?

Better yet, how can i make the direct x popup remember the setting? I find that popup horribly annoying.

Shortcut uses DX11, not aware of any straightforward way of changing that.

You can tell by looking at the executable image name in Task Manager. There are separate executables for the DX11 and DX12 version - though if you try to manually directly run the DX12 version, you still end up with the DX11 version running.

Hopefully this will be easier to control in the next patch that might drop between tomorrow and next week

I've seen no indications of an imminent patch.

My comment was also just a guess. We've had one patch on November 18th and December 21st so i'm just predicting :)

Oh and btw. we havn't seen the Aztec unlocked yet so they might mix it all up in one update
