How do you change back from "Forced dx11"?

[Ms O'Horné]

So I tried to change from dx12 to Vulkan, just to see if it would run better at first sight... Well the game forced itself in DX11 and it won't let me change that setting again. It's greyed out.

Currently I'm forcing the game to start with the -dx12 command, but... is there rly no way to have it set back to dx12 in game?

What, if you put nothing at all in the command bit it still reverts to forced dx11? Because that should be the answer, just remove any flags.

OP asks for how to switch FROM. You post a link that asks how to switch TO.

If it's greyed out and says "forced" you forgot to remove the launch option in steam.
I no option selected: You can change in settings.
If started with a launch option, like -dx12, -dx11 or -vulcan: the settings will be "forced" to that.
Or at least that is how it SHOULD work.

I also have the same problem. But I force Vulkan and it seems to work perfectly. I also don't think I'm gonna change the API that often. So forcing it through the Steam launch option seems like a workaround for now.

I HAVE to put the dx12 command, otherwise it will force dx11 instead, and dx11 runs a lot worse.

Not having a command automatically forces it to dx11 and my gfx option ingame is greyed out. For now I have to force dx12 until I got a solution.

You would fix it in the settings configuration most likely - I just forget which one it is today but it is there somewhere just change it manually within the file from DX11 to DX12 (open those files in notepad or related coding app such as NPP).

I came here looking for the right file to edit. Oh well, back to Google, I guess.

The real question is: Why are RTX users forcing DX11 in the first place.

You will have to create your own line of code in the configuration, but the normal Launch Command(s) SHOULD suffice:

-force-d3d12
-d3d12
-dx12
