fixing the game against developers will.. (forcing DX11 through Windows.)

All the Youtubers and streamers who got early keys complained about Crashes related through DX12.

the devs straight ignoring the fact that the game is unplayable with DX12 and do not give an option to change it.

but you can force it straight through windows (10).

Open your Options, go to Apps and klick on optional features.
Klick on Add Feature and look for Graphics tools.

Install the Graphics tools. (after klicking on install go back with the arrow on the top left and wait until it is installed.)

if it's done press Windows+R and type dxcpl

if you are in the direct x control panel klick in the Direct 3D 10/11/12 List on Edit List

there you klick on the 3 dots and go chose both .exe (Grid.exe and Grid_dx12.exe)

both paths should be visible in the List of processes and folders now.

Press OK

Now you look all the way down at Device Settings and make a check on Disable Feature Level Upgrade and chose in the list called Feature level limit: 11_1.

you klick on confirm and start the game.

the game will still be called Grid DirectX12 because the games name has DirectX12 in it but the game now runs natively in Direct X11.1

This fixed the crashing immediately for me and i have now even better performance (around 15% more FPS and a much more stable experience.)

it's a shame that Codemasters does something like this even if everyone told them the issue WEEKS AGO!

I don't have 3rd party anti-virus, i only have windows defender and it would make 0 sense if dx11 games work and dx12 games don't work, it's literally impossible for anti-virus to do this. can't be the issue.

it's something related to game + dx12. it's not one or other. at least that's what i think. My updates are still running .. forgot how much i hate windows updates. my firewall already popped up 3 alerts that windows is trying to connect some weird programs somewhere ... no idea what they are, but they all got denied. I just hate it when programs install some useless garbage that nobody ever uses or needs. now it's also installing graphics drivers for some built-in intel graphics ... All this just to try and fix dx12 .. what a load of bollocks.

I have still same issue. What i've tried so far:
Updated nvidia drivers
updated windows (which i never done before)
verified files of GRID via steam (it said some files were missing and it also installed "Steamworks common redistributables" for some reason)

None of this works for me and in windows I do not have anything under "add a feature". So i can't even try to force it into dx11.

They don't want to sell to Win7 users? Ok, keep your game.

@Axeman it's because windows 7 does not support dx12, nothing devs can do about it. Well WoW is actually only game that has dx12 on win 7, but it's bumpy road and nobody wants to do this. If you want to blame someone, blame microsoft for not giving native dx12 support on win 7.

however my issue remains, in contact with support now.

The new Call of Duty Modern Warfare is DX12 only and works on Windows 7 as well

as I said, it's a struggle. I have dx11 on windows xp, but it's pain to get anything working, you get 100 error messages before something works. Basically you can get dx12 on win xp too, but it requires lot of work as microsoft doesn't provide native support for it. They do it on purpose to kill out the old windows versions.

They gave too much control to users with win xp, so now they trying to take it away with win 10, I mean win 10 requires SIGNED DRIVERS, which means companies who want to have their own drivers, must pay lot of money to microsoft to have their driver signed .. it's all about $$$$$ and who else knows $$$$$ better than microsoft? they're all about greed and control.

Sorry to hear that it's still not starting for you. Good luck with the support. Hope they have a solution soon. Let us know about the result.

Shouldn't be a problem for a developer to let it run in dx11.1 but we're talking about Codemasters.

If it will work with dx11 I may buy it.On sale though,the price is waaaay to high for a lame reboot.I'll never understand codemasters refusal to listen to the buyers at all.They are trying to make it look like a dx12 exclusive title with great new graphics tech behind it,when it obviously can be run in dx11.

From what I have gathered so far it's a pale reboot of a classic nothing new or exceptional at all.Shame it wasn't produced with the attention to detail it deserved.
