Bioshock Infinite error DiretX 11 Hardware and Software

[Zullivan1987]

"Bioshock Infinite requires that your graphics hardware be compatible with Directx 10 or Directx 11, and have the Directx 11 runtime installed.

Please Help, i have Windows 8.1

i know you have to uninstall 8.1 it ♥♥♥♥♥ up ur games

I have solved in this way :

Solved,

go in the bioshock infinite directory and find the path :

\binaries\prerequisites\directx_jun2010_redist and launch the dxsetup.exe

It will install some (i think old) direct x file (9 or 10?) and after the pc restart you can launch the bioshck infinite game.

In the game remember to set to ULTRA setting if you want to have the dx11 features. In default setting the game is launched at normal setting

This means that your video card doesn't support DirectX 11. What video card do you have?

[[TUF] Cookie Monster]

Its Windows 8.1 dudes

[KillerKoala78]

Windows 8.1 supports DirectX 11, that's fine. It's your video card that needs to support DirectX 11! What video card do you have?

[SenZjo]

its windows 8.1..., i have 2 gtx690's and have the same problem and theres no fix to be found anywhere, so thnx m$...

[KillerKoala78]

The GTX 690 is compatible with DirectX 11, do you have the latest video card drivers installed?

[SenZjo]

i have all the latest drivers, tried evrything possible that i could find on the net xcept for reinstalling windows.., wich i'm not gonna do just to be able to play a game..., i'll just wait for some patch to come out.

Specs:

Asus RIVE, i74960x, 16Gb RipJawz 2133Mhz, nV surround setup (6040x1080)

So i'm pretty sure that my system can run it.

I know how all of you feel i mean i just finished downloading the new dlc but i will speak to 2k games and try and sort it out for you

[KillerKoala78]

It's not a problem with Windows 8 or 8.1, I have the game running just fine on Windows 8.1 but I am using an AMD card.

It could be the Nvidia drivers:
"This is solved. I have the GeForce Experience installed and used their "Update Driver" feature in there to update to 314.22 a few days ago. Last night I ended up downloading the 314.22 drivers from Nvidia.com and re-installing them manually (no uninstall/re-install, simply running the exe again). During the install there is an option to perform a 'Clean Install'. I selected this, rebooted, and now the game runs fine. So for me the solution was to manually install the 314.22 drivers from Nvidia.com and select the 'Clean Install' option."

I had the same problem ... And finally, I saw some people saying that after updated the video driver (nvidia) several games do not work anymore. Then I tested another game beyond Bioshock (Thief) ... An this was not working anymore ... Tomb Rider too! Simply i unisntall the driver (windows 8) and i reboot the windows automatically reinstalled the same driver (334.89) and everything worked perfectly. I think ... With the updates, acumulate some "junk" of the earlier drivers, and the unistalling cleared. I hope that works for you too!

may i ask where i get this driver?

Windows has AMD and Nvidia base drivers as part of it's install, they are usually the ones that were out when that version of windows was burned, so they aren't going to the the very latest.

Solved:
Had to uninstall, delete the folder and reinstall.

I think i had some 3D fix/mod in the folder.

I have the same problem on Win 10 with Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080, strange thing i played the game earlier today also
