Special K doesn't support D3D12 at the moment. There was a brief period of support about 3 years ago, but you don't want that version because it doesn't do anything that modern versions do.

You can use Special K with that game, but you must run the game once without it and turn D3D12 off.

Hello,

thanks for your reponse.
I do not use d3d12, my windows is windows seven 64bits and it does not support d3d12.
do you have another idea ?

Remove Special-k completely, Launch the game, select dx11 in the launcher, hit play, quit after the game loads, now install special-k and the game will not crash, you have to disable dx12 for special-k to work else game will crash.

Hello,

I have removed Special-k, and I can't select dx12 because it is a checkbox, and this checkbox is grayed since I am under Windows 7 64bits so I suppose I use dx11.

Use this version, i am using this one since launch for shadow of tr. Never had any problem with it.

[AdelineRG]

Yes this the version I use, It was for a mod of nexus and all mods in nexus say to use this version, but it don't work for me.

Many thanks for helping, i haved finished shadow so, I dropped the idea of using special K.
