DX11 vs DX12

[Marc0_]

Hi guys, I tried both DX 11 and DX 12. The game runs better in DX 11 (no audio missing at some points, more solid frame rate and other improvements), BUT the loading time are infinitely longer. It takes like 10 minutes to load a mission... And leaving the store during mission takes like 5 minutes.
Is it normal or do I have to change something else? Or is there some kind of fix? I can play at DX12 too, but as I said the game runs a bit better compared to DX 12, so if there was a way to fix this problem with DX11 it would be great :)

My config, in case needed:
- Pentium G3258
- GTX 950 2GB
- 8 GB RAM

Your system specs are below the minimum requirements for Devil May Cry 5. This is more than likely the sole reason you're experiencing long load times, as your hardware isn't capable of loading data any faster.

In your case, if you can personally deal with the issues DirectX12 presents when used, you should use DirectX12 to improve the loading times (assuming it does improve your load times, personally I notice no difference in loading times). If you can't, you should invest in better hardware (such as an SSD instead of a Hard Drive/HDD) - if you are able to invest in such things (it's much easier said than done, I understand that).

If you can't do either of the above, then I believe you're stuck with the long loading times you have. Apologies, best of luck!

Thanks for the reply man. Luckily the problems I have with DX 12 aren't too much annoying. I was hoping to be able to play in DX 11 without massive loading times, but if I can't then I'll keep playing in DX 12. I am lucky to be even able to run this game, cause as you said my specs are way below minimum requirements.
Thanks again for the info :)
