What are DirectX 12 Errors in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?
Screenshot via The EscapistMany players are encountering DirectX 12 errors preventing them from launching Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This issue primarily stems from incompatibility with older Windows versions. DirectX 12 requires Windows 10 or 11.
Troubleshooting DirectX 12 Errors
1. Verify Windows Version: Ensure your PC runs Windows 10 or 11. Older versions are incompatible.
2. Check DirectX Version:
- Open the Windows Start menu.
- Type "dxdiag" and press Enter.
- In the "System Information" section, check your DirectX version. It must be version 12. If not, consider a Windows update (though this may not always resolve the issue on older systems).
3. Graphics Card Compatibility: If DirectX 12 is installed but errors persist, your graphics card may be the culprit. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has minimum requirements. Check Square Enix's official website for compatible GPUs. Recommended cards include:
- AMD Radeon™ RX 6600*
- Intel® Arc™ A580
- NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 2060*
Upgrading your graphics card might be necessary if it doesn't meet the minimum specifications.
If these steps don't resolve the issue, further troubleshooting may be required, potentially involving reinstalling the game or contacting Square Enix support.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is available now on PlayStation and PC.
