Put the game on DX12, it plays better

[WoWCoreT]

I'm getting an average of +15-20 fps with DX12 enabled

I'm not using any mods nor Special K.

There are some that upgraded to Win10 from Win7 just to try DX12 with no luck. There are also people who were already on Win10 that tried running DX12 with no luck. It's literally random.

DX12 helped, but now I run into a fatal error after playing for a long while. Err12 graphics crash specifically. Only "solution" given so far has been to turn off steam overlay. And yeh that dosent really help. Pretty sure its another thing that needs to be patched but what dosent need to be fixed at this point.

Same! ERROR12 and CTD. This is so annoying as everything was going so smooth up until now! :(

I don't think it's actually timescale related though, as I literally had the game open for several hours (at some times idle) and the crash specifically occurred at the end of a cut-scene.

Seems like a programming related error to me.

it does run better for me on dx12 but it crashes so eh

My lap is windows 10 and have the directx 12 installed yet i can't seem to be able to turn it on in the game option , and i use the main menu option but it just....grey out and say i need to have windows 10 or higher but my current windows is 10 so why i can't interact with it ?

I noticed that I do get better performance with DX12...but that "better performance" is just getting the game back to where it was with DX11 before the update.

Unfortunately, this doesn't help with the massive increase in CPU usage and temperatures introduced by the update.

im curious... the people with the error 12 and CTD, are you guys running the game with only 8gb of RAM?

What version of Windows 10 do you have? (You can type winver in search bar to figure it out if you don't know)

I had Error 12 once so far with some stutters. Some say that it's Windows Antivirus, so adding an exception for the Monster Hunter folder (or just steam folder in general) has helped. But I've only had the problem once so I have no idea if it worked for me, but it might be worth a try for you. I have noticed doing it that the stutters have been better, but whether or not cause of that or something else I don't know personally.

I'm on a ryzen 2600x and RX 480 8GB btw if that matters. Haven't had any of the issues that people have reported outside of the Error 12 crash once thankfully. Enhanced Sync is also messed up in general up for AMD so anyone reading this make sure to turn it off. Freesync has been fine though, sometimes people confuse Enhanced Sync and Freesync.

And for anyone wondering how to add exceptions in Windows antivirus, on Win10 search for "Windows Security". Then Virus and Threat Protection > Manage Settings > Add or remove exclusions

And of course add exclusions for any third party antivirus. Hopefully that might help some.

hmmmm.... this is something that I thinking about, why my MHW Icon doesn't show. the icon looks like something that blocked by anti virus. I should go try that.

I assume you have a DX12 compatible card? You could try forcing it in the graphics_option.ini file by setting DirectX12Enable=On. You should be able to reset it back if you encounter issues.
