Anyway to run with DX11 not 12?
Every game i run with DirectX 12 Has performance issues and was wondering if i could force DX11 on it instead. im assuming its impossible but im starting to feel a trend with DX12 its ♥♥♥♥.

I'm pretty sure the game only has DX11 right now and DX12 was"promised" at some point. If you monitor your FPS in game through afterburner it shows "D3d11" so pretty sure it's only DX11.

The game dos not have any support for DX12, it has been promised, but during development it has been abandon. No one know why.
The game use only DX11

It would be Windows 10 only if it was DX 12. I'm not sure what you mean about everyone has issues with it. I have multiple DX 12 titles that run great.

DX12 loves more cores and threads. A lot of quad core peeps might lose performance or stay about the same. With my 6 core 12 thread I usually get a boost. But will say on Watch Dogs 2 just about all 12 CPU threads get loaded, DX12 or not.
