Dx12 by default now... How to start it with Dx11?
I cant use dx12 and the game worked fine with dx11. the command -dx12 doesnt work, is there an ini file somewhere, where i can write dx11 instead of 12? Thanks!

yes in launch options. Dx12 has way more stuttering.

Add "-dx11" to startup command.

No wonder I was getting lower FPS and stutters which I had none before, Shame on Saber/NWI for not stating this on their update changelog :steamsalty:. Thanks for the info. And if -dx11 command doesn't work, try -D3D11 in INS:SS steam launch options boys! :insfist:

yeah lets launch a game for windows 7 then slowly depreciate it and support for dx11 and not even mention it in the latest updated and let everyone else figure it out the hard way.... that's how we do things here at NWI..... last two patches you couldn't even launch the fkn game without doing some black magic with the core game files and now this ♥♥♥♥............

same crap... before this update I played this game effortlessly on DX11... and now I can't.... I'll try this -dx11 out

-dx11 not working, trying out -D3D11

-D3D11 seems to be working so far... will see how's it gonna be farther on
They should add option to select DX11 or DX12 in settings.

I had alot of stuttering too and I didn't realize they switched to dx12. I put -dx11 in the start up command and now its running alot better. Thanks to you guys in the forums for help.

For me it's the opposite. I get much more FPS and no stuttering now.

Windows 7 here and -dx11 or -d3d11 doesnt work, it crash the Anti-Cheat before the game start.

This game was working great, 60+ Fps on a 1050ti.. and everything was fine.

Devs lost their brain in the toilet and decided to migrate their game to dx12 for more lag, stuttering and more.. but hey! Graphics have been improve by 4%. Color are more colorfull. it was worth it ( Devs says)

The DX11 flag worked for a few weeks, but with EAC forcing DX12, you can no longer play the game on versions of windows prior to 10.

Moving to linux or installing a worse version of windows are the only options for normal users.

No wonder my game kept crashing... seems there's no workaround this time around, so time to play around with some Nvidia control panel settings and see if I can get rid of the stutters...

so no DX11 anymore?

I was playing this game many hours... on Windows 7, I like this sys. it palys good everything I like to... So I played this game proud and honestly and had fun........ And now I can't... I lost one of the best FPS games I ever played.... "Thanks" devs.....
