Technical Error

[Vorago Somniorum]

I downloaded the demo version without any trouble but whenever I attempt to launch the full game, I get the following error message:

Fatal Error : code=b6535884887a0004
mess : Failed to initialize ID3D11Device

I'm playing on a Dell Inspiron 620 x64-based PC, Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2320 CPU @ 3.00GHz

Your graphic card support directX 11？

[Vorago Somniorum]

My dxdiag says that it has DirectX 12, but I just read somewhere that my graphics card (Intel HD 2000) only supports up to Direct X 10.1. I think I'm going to try downloading this game on my laptop instead, which has Intel HD 4400, which I know supports Direct X 11.1

For those who do not have support for DX11, I found a solution that seems to work fine so far. You're going to want to make DirectX force the .exe to accept DirectX 10. To do this, go to your start menu and search for dxcpl.exe. If you don't have it, you will need to download the DirectX Software Development Kit from Microsoft. When opened, under the first section named "Scope", you want to click "Edit List...". Then, select the "..." button and browse to your local Danganronpa V3 files. You want to add both launcher and Dangan3Win. After doing so, click "OK" on the bottom. Now at the very bottom of the window, you will see "Device Settings". Select "11_1" as the Feature level limit and then check the "Force WARP" box right next to it. Apply your settings and then try to run the game again. Keep in mind this solution is only for those with video cards that do not support DX11.

EDIT: If you plan on upgrading your video card in the future, you will need to revert these settings.

From what I've found looking around for the last 30-45 minutes for a solution that would help launch the game, what I've found is that the problem doesn't seem to have much to do with DirectX or graphic cards at all, but is more likely the cause of a programming error. I have downloaded multiple new versions of DirectX and have verified my computer does in fact support DirectX 11.1, yet even though I seem to have all the nessecary files and programs to run the game, I still can't launch it. However, if that's the case, and it really is a programming error rather than the game simply not working with specific computers, then we're probably in luck, since that means that all that needs to be done is for the developers to release a patch for the game, and that might fix things. Though that also means we might have to wait one or multiple days before the game is fixed.

While you download DX11, it depends on your hardware. Just because your PC software says it's using DX11 doesn't mean that your actual hardware supports it.

I've struggled with the same problem pretty much the entire day, but I've finally found a solution (that works for me, at least). Now I'm posting it everywhere so people can try it out.

Okay, so basically, the error is attributed / has something to do with the graphics card on any given computer. However, for whatever baffling reason I can't understand, if you have two graphic cards on your computer, the game will essentially use the graphic card it is not compatible with and thus immediatly crashes. However, you can manually choose which card to use when you launch the game and thus choose the functional card.

To do this, you have to find your Steam folder on the computer. The navigation of the files goes like this: Steam --> SteamApps-->common-->Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony. When you are in the Danganronpa V3 Killing Harmony folder, one of the files will be called Dangan3Win. This is the actual central game file. Now, click on this file once, and a blue rectangle will appear surrounding the file. When this is up, you then do a left click on the program. The fourth option from the top, "run with graphics processor" in my language, should show you two options for which graphics card/processor you want to run the game with. One of the two should work, most likely the one not already set as standard.

Keep in mind, if you don't have the two graphic cards like I do, and you only have one and that single one doesn't work with the game, then it might really be a sign that you won't be able to play the game with your current setup and might have to invest in some new hardware. However, I believed my computer was too old to play the game as well, and I did somehow manage to find a solution, so you might also want to just look around some more or mess with your settings to get it to work.

I hope this solves his problem, :D.

If you choose to do this and don't have the dxcpl.exe thing, make sure you download "Microsoft SDK", and NOT the "June 2010 SDK".
I learned after mistakenly downloading the June 2010 instead, it didnt have a "device settings" section at the bottom.

After getting the right one and following the rest of the directions here, this solved it for me :)

Me neither. Does this Microsoft SDK even exist?

Did you guys had any luck finding the device settings?

If it weren't for you and another person I wouldn't be able to play this game today. I love you
