    I can't play a game that requires DirectX11 even though I have DirectX12


    I've been trying new games lately and I wanted to try one that caught my eye, but every time I try to run the game it says "ERRO3: Failed to initialize DirectX11", then it will force the game to close. I was confused why and tried to search around to see if I could find a solution, and I found about how to check your PC's DirectX version. When I went to go see what version I had, it showed I had DirectX12, which I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be better than DirectX11. I'm really confused why it can't run if I have DirectX12 and it needs DirectX11.

    :)

    there are two forms of DirectX, the software package, and the hardware features in your graphics card, what is your GPU?

    How to get DirectX 10 from DirectX 12

    DirectX 12 is fully backwards compatible with DirectX 10 and 11. DirectX12 is already on both Windows 10 and 11. DX12 Ultimate is of little use unless you have a high end AMD RX 6XXXX or NVIDIA 20XX or better graphics card/discreet graphics processor.

    DirectX is software that works with your graphics hardware. If your graphics hardware does not fully support the hardware level of the version DirectX of the game you want to play, you can't play it.

    For example, even though your PC/Laptop has DirectX12 installed, if your hardware only supports DirectX 10, you won't be able to run games that require DX11 or DX12.

    If you could provide the system specs of your machine, we could have look if your hardware is compatible with War Thunder. Without this information there is no way to know.

    I can't play online even though I have game pass?

    There are 4 versions of Game Pass.

    Game Pass Core, Game Pass for console, Game Pass for PC, and Game Pass Ultimate.

    Only Game Pass Core and Game Pass Ultimate include the ability to play online multiplayer games.

    Is your subscription for one of those two or is it just Game Pass for console?

    I can't play online even though I have game pass?

    Hi,

    a factory reset without deleting the games and settings would be worth a try but you need your account infos to redownload your profile.

    Have you forgotten your password or why do you fear to lose your account ?

    Xbox Game Pass for PC - Experience so far.

    So Far not too bad, managed to play Gears 4 and FH4 without problems, even the downloads for those games weren't long.

    Metro Exodus has Issues though. Took ages to download and it doesn't support Directx11, even though the DX11 option is there it doesn't switch to it, suggesting the whole DX11 binaries are missing.
