What Causes DirectX 12 Errors in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?
Troubleshooting DirectX 12 Errors
1. Verify Windows Version: Ensure your system runs Windows 10 or 11. Upgrading your operating system is necessary if you're using an older version.
2. Check DirectX Version: Even on Windows 10/11, verify your DirectX version:
- Open the Start Menu and type "dxdiag."
- Run "dxdiag."
- Navigate to the "System" tab. Check the DirectX version listed. It should be DirectX 12.
3. Update DirectX (if needed): If your DirectX version is outdated, updating your graphics drivers often resolves this. Check your graphics card manufacturer's website (AMD, NVIDIA, Intel) for the latest drivers.
4. Graphics Card Compatibility: If DirectX 12 is installed and the error persists, your graphics card might be the problem. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has minimum requirements. Check Square Enix's official website for the game's recommended GPU specifications:
- AMD Radeon™ RX 6600*
- Intel® Arc™ A580
- NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 2060*
If your GPU doesn't meet these minimum specs, upgrading may be necessary for optimal gameplay.
Resolving the issue often involves confirming your Windows version and DirectX installation. If problems persist despite meeting the minimum requirements, consider contacting Square Enix support for further assistance.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is available now on PlayStation and PC.
