There was a problem initiating DirectX 9

[Hamzer the Conqueror (of lands)]

... but I don't care about DirectX 9 because I have DirectX 12. This error occurs usually in triple a games. You know, GPU intensive. First of all, why? Second of all, how do I make sure I have the most up-to-date version of DirectX 12

Just because your card supports DX12, doesn't mean the game does, If the game only supports DX9, then you're stuck using DX9.

You can grab the latest version of DX from here - https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=35&40ddd5bd-f9e7-49a6-3526-f86656931a02=True

The Witcher 3 doesn't support DirectX 12 then?

No, at the moment It only supports DX11. I don't understand why you would receive that error on non DX9 titles, but try uninstalling and reinstalling DirectX.

What video card do you have?

What video card do you have?

970

[_I_]

game os and gpu can each limit dxlevel

gtx 970 will support parts of dx12, along with win10
win7-8 are limited to dx11
games designed for winxp are limited to dx 9.0c

[Hamzer the Conqueror (of lands)]

That made no sense. What games are designed fo windows xp anymore? I haven't played one, at least

source eingine games were designed for win 9x-xp and limited to dx9.0c

[Hamzer the Conqueror (of lands)]

No, those aren't the games I'm talking about. It's weird, but it happens with gpu intensive games. I think. That's where the problem usually pops ip
