Not allowing me to choose DX11 or DX12 on startup?

[SilveouS]

Guys mine doesn't ask me if I wanted to run on DX11 or DX12, I have to manually go to the folder and select DX11 just to make sure it runs on DX11.. any fixes?

You need Windows 10 version 1903 or higher.

The executable autodetects the best version for your system.

You can force it , actually ( just add -dx11 or -dx12 to the startup parameters) , but if the game picks dx11 chances are it came to the conclusion that your system can't handle it the dx12 version of the game.

High textures on DX11 work just fine on my old rig, but when I force DX12 textures just won't load, i'll stick to the lowest setting.

assuming your steam folder is default location, right click on the game and choose properties. then launch options and paste this in:

"c:\program files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Control\Control_DX11.exe" %command%

it forces steam to load the specified exe and works for any exe for any game. I use it for several games that use launchers as they get on my nerves

I know this thread is old but I tried this solution and found that it crashed in Windows 10 but not Windows 8.1. So I just completed The Anchor boss without problem after I installed the game on Windows 8.1.
