Hi Dash,

Thanks for your reply. As mentioned in the troubleshooting guide, please try setting an affected game to run with DirectX 11 instead of DX12. Of course, you won’t be able to do that though the game’s settings screen if it doesn’t start in the first place. You can add additional launch parameters to your game.

For Epic Games:

Bring up Epic Games Launcher’s window.

Click the user account button near the top-right corner of the Epic Games Launcher window.

Select the Settings menu option.

Click an affected game’s title to expand options for it.

Then select the game’s Additional Command Line Arguments checkbox.

Input -d3d11 in the text box for the command line argument.

For Steam Games:

Bring up the Steam client software.

Select Library along the top of Steam’s window.

Right-click whatever game the “D3D11-compatible GPU” occurs for and select Properties.

Input -dx11 in the launch option text box on the General tab.
