Trouble with Direct X 12

[yeeyoh]

Hello,
I have this game on three different platforms at the moment. I was hoping to play the GoG version as I have read that works a bit smoother.
A month or so ago I installed the Gog version through Galaxy and I played a bit with no problems (and direct X 12 enabled). Now when I go back to it a few AMD driver and windows updates later I can not get it to launch with Direct X 12 enabled.
I have tried it with different settings and resolutions but it just seems to launch smoothly with direct x 12 disabled and refuses to launch (black screen shows up momentarily before returning to desktop) with direct x 12 enabled .
Does anybody have any ideas about this ? Is it a common problem ? I know I played it with Direct X (12) enabled on the GOG version about a month or so ago and on the steam version when I was playing that one.

How are you playing with 12, if the game only has 11?

Under Options (from the launcher) there is a tick box on the first page for Direct X 12.

Directx12's definitely available, because I use it as well. Check the settings right when you launch in the splash screen.

Sorry, I imagined myself in a different game's forum.

Hello, I have the same problem. When I enable DirectX 12, the game crashes to the desktop, but when playing on DirectX 11, I get around 25 fps. I've tried everything.

Don't play in DX12.

Turn off MSAA.

Game just looks better in DX12. MSAA is already turned off in settings. Still wont launch.

Then enjoy the poor performance, crashes, and inability to even launch the game. MD's implementation of DX12 has always been trash, and shouldn't be used.
