Force the game to launch with DX12 API instead of DX11 if you're on a decent build!!!

[Dexter Morgan]

As the title suggests, my game was heavily stuttering due to no multi threading support with older DX APIs. Went from unstable 180 fps to stable 290 fps.

You have no idea what you're talking about.
If you want to experience source2 engine with a modern api that lets the devs optimize at a really low level, try playing the game on vulkan. Then tell me if you still think leaving the optimization to valve is a good idea.

do -dx12 in the launch options when you click on properties (right click on the game in library)

That's not a real command

It is, dummy. Try it. Put -dx12 as the launch option command. This is how Steam works and you can type in any API and force a game to run using that API, as long as the game supports it.

I already did try that command. Source 2 is directx 11 or vulkan only

here are the commands:
dx11: -dx11
dx12: -dx12
vulkan: -force-vulkan
Choose on or the others, see what suits you best ;)

Yeah. No idea why the other guy said the game doesn’t support DX 12 when it literally does. My overlays refuse to work in game with DX 11, and my GPU is only 60% used on maxed out settings with a 13600k. When I switch to DX 12, my GPU is maxed out and my game runs smoothly. Also, my overlays work.

You clearly didn’t because all of my overlays say that the game runs on DX 12. Also, my GPU is maxed out only when I do -dx12, so multi threading gets applied

Yes I already did use -dx12 launch command. sys_info command proves CS2 only uses directx 11 or vulkan.

Command Line: "cs2.exe" -steam -dx12
Render system: DX11
Driver Name: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070
DXLevel: 111

CS2 does not use directx 12 with that useless -dx12 launch command
