Crash on startup
As title says. Am i the only one? Updated graphics drivers and everything.

edit : for some people, like me, DX12 causes crash on startup for ANY game (the reason behind this for me, being related to either OC gpu or memory clocks). In order to bypass this, if you have the same issue, look in the game's Steam folder and modify the .ini file to have the game run under DX11. This worked for me.

edit : people in the thread reported that installing latest Direct X versions, or the latest version of Visual C++ fixed it for them.

Okay guys i have solved the problem.

Go to the file location of DMC5 in steam. Find the dmc5config file in the folder. You will see the Directx12 there. Make it 11 then save it.

It will open
