I really need help please, assassin's creed odyssey won't run on Direct X 12 and I can't roll back to Direct X 11

[BE3Al2]

I really need help on how run Assassins Creed Odyssey Ultimate Edition for some odd reason
all the sudden I can only get the logo to launch and nothing more I really need Help and that
my laptop is set to my Nivivda Graphics card which is 1050 Ti, I was fine playing the game about a month ago when all the sudden it just doesn't seem to launch.

does anyone recommend I uninstall then reinstall the game again by Steam and or by Ubisoft Connect, further more I also can't re-link my steam account back to my Ubisoft Connect account by mistake I accidentally un-linked my Steam.

Please any help is very much appropriated, and Ubisoft support does nothing to help me on this matter, and my laptop meets all the requirement to play the game.

Again I real hope some one will come across my comment/message with helpful tips and be able to restart playing Assassins Creed Odyssey again for me it's one of my favorite games to play

Odyssey wont run on DX12 becuase it is only a DX11 game.

You can also try DXVK. It converts the game to run Vulkan instead of DirectX. So it may help improve performance for you. Here is link: https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases/tag/v2.2

Copy the following DLL's from the x64 folder to the Assassins's Creed game folder - d3d11.dll and dxgi.dll. Don't copy the Direct3D9 and 10 DLL's - this results in the game not starting up.

You can also re-link your account when you log into Ubisoft's website. If you are still having trouble contact Ubisoft support. They will get back to you.

Your CPU is too old and does not support SSE 4.2 instruction set. Which is needed to run the game.

It will fail to launch no matter what you do. You will need to buy a new computer unfortunately.

I would suggest you refund the game if you recently bought it until than.

If buying new PC I would suggest to not buy 1st Gen Ryzen. Go with 5K series Ryzen 7, or 7K series Ryzen 7.

6 core CPU is pretty much obsolete now and your CPU will go much further having 8+ cores.

Think of new PC as investment. The more you put into it today. The further it will go into the future. So you dont need to spend more money upgrading sooner.
