Graphics Card Doesn't Support DX12

Are you sure that your graphics card supports DX12? The i5-2450M is 4 years old an has a Intel HD 3000. If your graphics card doesn't support DX12, Windows can't use it. If you want to use DX12, you need a graphics card supporting it.

Hi,

Your laptop doesn't support DX12 Ultimate. It's designed for high end dedicated graphics cards.

The Celeron N100 is low end, low powered processor that with it's iGPU, draws only 10W.

DX ultimate is primarily designed for AMD 6xxxx and Nvidia RTX 20,30 and 40 Series graphics cards.

Hi there,

the FH501 error seems to mean that your graphics card doesn't support DX12 or something related to the graphics card.

For more information or perhaps any trouble shooting options it's best to post in the game's specific forums here:

Hi,

If you've updated your graphics card drivers and you're still seeing this message it means that your graphics hardware (and I'm assuming it's integrated), doesn't support DirectX 10 at the hardware level.

The DirectX12 software layer is installed as part of Windows 10 and 11 and is backwards compatible (in a software sense) with all previous versions of the DirectX graphics API. However, having DX12 installed doesn't mean your PC supports it at the hardware level.

The game you're having issues with is probably an older title that came out before DirectX12, hence why the error doesn't say anything about DX12.

What this basically comes down to is that due to the age of your system you can't run this game as its not compatible.

If you've got a desktop/tower PC and a compatible power supply you can add a dedicated graphics card. If on the other hand you've got a laptop then I'm afraid you're out of luck and you'll need a new device.
