New update : DX12 not supported / command line argument

[Almisuifre]

Windows7 user here. Got this error message at launch :

Try running without the -dx12 or d3d12 command line argument.

Is someone knows how to run the game using this method ?
Thanks ! (hope my english is ok)

Oh. I wonder if they enabled DX12 by accident. Would explain why performance isn't as good for me. I've been getting microstutters often since the update, whereas before the game ran buttersmooth.

If they did enable it by accident, you gotta wait for them to disable it in a hotfix.

uhh, seems youve forced DX12 with command line augments .

and side note id try the new CAS fidelity settings. i noticed some performance issues. turned it on and switched to epic (upgrading my graphics) and getting better performance.

type this on game launch option : "-d3d11"

This makes me confident that they did enable DX12 by accident. I tried it and I'm having no more hiccups.

Not working for me, I typed it in. My game still wont launch?

How you fix a Fatal Error . window pop up saying fatal error.
Edited 5 minutes later - -dx11 command line option fix the problem.

I got my game to launch with the d3d11 prompt, but now I get the UE4 fatal error at start up. Never had this before update. Please help.

I just found out about this whole Dx12 thing. My game runs but looks horrible, more pix-elated and washed out. Performance in pyramid ledges is horrible now. I use a 960GTX and was fine before the update, now its horrible, what can I do?

[dedesigns57]

UPDATE
Some how I finally got session to look not only normal but better then before. Using the command line code combined with turning my settings to all HIGH worked! I still have bad performance on pyramid ledges but all other maps work at 60 FPS.

For what ever reason even though I ran the game at med settings before the update it seems med settings dont work well after the update but HIGH does. Well at least combined with that command line code.

Can't believe it took me two days to figure this out. I dont even want any more updated from Creature at this point. What a mess.

[mothersoul27]

I cant even get past the start up screen at creature studios before the game crashes. So I cant change anything. Yea it is a mess. Cant play one of my favourite games I paid for.

Command line arguments do nothing but make the game crash after startup. I can no longer play. Scumbag inept company.

Dx12 and UE4 Please fix the game.
I can not play my game anymore after the update. Before update I could. Nothing works, adding Command line d3d11 does not work. Game always crashes at start up UE4 fatal error. I cant get DX12. I tried reinstalling. Session is one of my favourite games and I paid for it. And now cant play it at all. Please fix this Creature.
