Here in this article, we’re about to tackle the “DirectX 12 Not Supported” error in The First Descendant!
Let’s be real: if your graphics card (GPU) doesn’t speak DirectX 12, it’s a “you can’t sit with us” situation. But hey, don’t throw in the towel just yet! Even if your GPU does support DX12 and this error pops up, there are a few tricks you can try.
Troubleshooting The Issues: Reboot, Update, and More
First things first, let’s do the tech equivalent of shaking an Etch A Sketch – reboot your PC. Sometimes, it’s a simple glitch, and a good ol’ restart can work wonders.
Next, check your operating system (OS). If you’re still rocking Windows 10, upgrading to Windows 11 might be the golden ticket. It’s like switching from a flip phone to a smartphone – newer games simply prefer the newer tech.
Even if you can’t upgrade, make sure you have the latest Windows 10 update (20H2 or later) and all the optional goodies installed. It’s like getting your car a tune-up – keeps things running smoothly.
Now, let’s talk graphics drivers. These are the software that help your GPU talk to your games. Head over to NVIDIA or AMD’s website (depending on your graphics card) and grab the latest drivers. It’s like updating your phone apps – sometimes, they fix those annoying bugs.
If you’re a laptop user with two GPUs (integrated and dedicated), try disabling the weaker one. It’s like telling your little brother to go play in another room so you can focus on the game.
Finally, if you’re running Linux, there’s a code you can try in the game’s launch options to force DirectX 12. It’s a bit technical, but hey, you’re a gamer – you can handle it!
Another Fix: Not Guaranteed to work, But Worth a Shot!
Let’s be honest, there’s no magical fix for everyone. It’s kinda like trying to find the perfect pair of jeans – sometimes, it just doesn’t happen. But hey, at least you’ve got a few tools in your arsenal now.
Give these fixes a try, and if they work, shout it from the rooftops (or, you know, leave a comment below). And if they don’t, don’t despair. Remember, there are other games out there, and who knows, maybe The First Descendant will patch things up soon.
