Revert back to DX11

[CR33D]

This problem caused by me. I'm sorry I just mess with the option of turning on the DX12 and then when I want to start the game it just force quit when the "NVIDIA' logo appeared. The question is : how can I revert back to DX11? cause I cant go to option since it force quit immediately before the Main Menu?

Thanks in advance if anyone can help

Yep tried this. Maybe its becuz I dont have DX12? I dunno exactly

[andreasiewut]

well do you have the newest Nvida drivers? and im sure you are using windows 10 so you prob do have DX12 only really older card will give you that issue like 10 year older cards

Right click the game in your library, Select Properties, Then select "local files", Then select "browse"

In the window that opens, Scroll down until you see an .ini file called re2_config

Right click it, Open it with Notepad and at the top you'll see this

[Render]
PCTargetAPIFallback=Enable
Capability=DirectX12
TargetPlatform=DirectX12

Change the "DirectX12" on both lines to "DirectX11" then close and save the file and then launch the game again.

You're very welcome!

If this happens to you on RE3R, RE7 and RE Village, It's the same process for those games also :)

Oh right I had thought about this but didn't remember how to do it exactly. This is basically Nvidia's fault. It happened when driver 460 was released.

Naw, when you set the launch arguments to DX11 via the steam client, The .ini file is still set to DX12, So the bug persists, it's just that setting launch arguments via steam doesn't have write permissions for the .ini, Steam only had permissions to launch the .exe and the .exe loads the .ini, So to fix the bug you have to manually edit the .ini or delete it and the game will create a fresh .ini when it is next launched

This is the same for RE2, RE3 and RE Village, they all have an .ini that has the API written to it under renderer and that's what the .exe reads to remember your ingame settings
