Not yet, there is a few minor kinks we need to sort out first.

Got a 6900 XT, since my last post, from the AMD Store at MSRP, finally...;) In the 1.04 D3d11 game I'm now getting 35-50 fps, depending on the area I'm in on the game. It will be interesting to see the D3d12 version of the game!

Thank you . I've played Elex and Elex 2 both from the first day they came out.

NOW Elex 2 DX 12 is excactly the game i was hoping for at start.

BUT PLEASE:

Fix the " Hacking" - It is now, after the DX 12 Update more a try and error thing... Because there is no difference between the numbers you can click and the numbers that are right and/or on a wrong spot ( German bloke here, so my english isn't so good ;) )

Over all:

Good work with DX 12 -It looks so much better now.

Cheers

Andrew

Game crashes with an error on the DirectX 12 beta. After updating the Nvidia driver to version 512.77 from 12.05.2022. Deleting the config file does not help. It is impossible to play without DirectX 12 - 20 FPS. Tell me how to solve the problem?

Hi there. I have the same problem. After updating Nvidia driver, the game is not playable anymore! Please, fix that!

[Zyddie]

Sounds like an issue on Nvidia's issue.

What GPU's do you guys have ?

RTX 2060 - before the driver update - everything worked fine! The DirectX 11 version is working. But I can't play it because of the low FPS

Hmm, okay, I'll test it myself. The DX12 update worked fine for me when it first launched but I haven't played since the driver update. I'm on a 2060 Super.

Had the same error after updating NVIDIA driver. Deleting config folder solved the problem for me. (GTX 1060)

You deleted exactly the "config" folder or file ConfigUser.xml ?

Confirmed.

I just updated to 517.77 GeForce Drivers, now the game instantly crashes on startup. I've deleted the config folder and still no go, immediate crash with "Oh no. A crash!" error message box requesting data dumps - which I did and uploaded when prompted.

Deleted the complete config folder (>AppData>Local>Elex2). When started the game creates this folder anew and for me it worked.

First try was rolling back to older version of graphics driver, but now this didn't start neither. So verified game files, deleted config folder and it worked again.

Finally updated graphics driver to newest version (512.77) and no more problems. Can't say why though, but maybe this information helps someone. :)

(Did a clean install of the driver)

I, also, deleted the config folder in that exact place... game still crashes on launch in the DX12 build.

I had same issue with april nvidia drivers, installed EII dx12 version on march drivers and after update to nvidia april drivers and game was unable to run.
Sorry but it looks like EII dx12 can't handle GFX driver update. However i'm not sure how many people are affected.
Is there anyone who updated nvidia driver during playing beta without any problems?
