Trying going into the steam folder for this game and reinstalling DirectX

And yes the Intel HD 4600 can run this game, not great, but it can run it.

This game is a DX11 game. The concept of DX 11 is how it communicates to hardware. This game is not optimal for performance conditions like DX 12. DX 11 often can only speak to 1 core at a time where as DX 12 can speak to thousands of cores at a time.

Games on DX 11 are architectually mapped for specific hardware - this one included - for optimization purposes. DX 12 basically skips all of that optimization and streamlines this too for programmers if they know how to write the code.

I tried it, but it tells me that there is already a more recent version

Go ahead and see if you need a new driver update https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/81496/Intel-HD-Graphics-4600

(It looks like yours is outdated)

Obviously install and reboot your computer, if it doesn't work put this into the launch options for the game d3d11_UE4Features

DX isn't a driver. It isn't backward or forward compatible he has likely updated to Win 10 and lost the DX 11 API.

I'd suggest he go here...

That only says : "you have a newer version"

Please just ignore him, he is spewing horribly misleading information. Have you done the driver update and/or launch command?

I dont know what kind of hardware you have - but it has to support the DX 11 - try to change the properties on the game for launch options to -dxlevel version 11.


Open Steam
Go to the "Library"
Right-click the game which needs to be reconfigured
Select "Properties" from the menu
Click the "Set launch options..." button
Remove any launch options currently shown.
Type one of the DirectX level launch options specified below in the box

DirectX Level Launch Options

-dxlevel 90 (DirectX v9.0)
-dxlevel 81 (DirectX v8.1)
-dxlevel 80 (DirectX v8.0)

I think 11 is -dxlevel 110 or 111

She friggin posted a screenshot of her hardware in DXDiag, I also commented on her hardware, -autoconfig and -dxlevel version 11 are not valid launch commands for dead by daylight.

The intel HD 4600 supports DX11, OP has an outdated display driver that might fix the issue, if not the launch command I suggested they use to fix this is from another thread from the developers.

From what I am reading it doesn't even support DX12

It doesn't have to support DirectX12 to play a DirectX11 game.
And if you were actually reading the comment sOP has put 200+ hours in the game already with this.
