If you are getting the Gray Zone Warfare DirectX 12 is Not Supported error, one of the main causes may be that your OS or system does not meet the minimum specifications to play the game. The game requires DirectX 12 which is supported by the Windows 10 22H2 and later versions. There are some simple solutions if you are getting this error, which we will explore in the post.
Fix Gray Zone Warfare DirectX 12 is Not Supported
If you are playing the game on Windows 11, the issue may not be with the OS, but with the GPU. Whereas for Windows 10 users, you need to update the OS.
Upgrade to Windows 22H2
If you are on Windows 10, ensure that you are running the 22H2 version or higher. You can check your Windows and DirectX versions by typing dxdiag in the WIdnows search and open dxdiag. If you do not have DirectX 12, make sure to update the OS.
Clean Install the GPU Driver
Make sure that you have the latest GPU driver. The latest Nvidia driver available for download is Version 552.22. Download this version and perform a clean install. When installing choose custom and then clean install.
Clear the Launch Options
The error message itself states that you should try running the game without the -dx12 or -d3d12 command line argument. And to be safe, ensure that you are not forcing DirectX 11 through the command line. Here is what you need to do.
- Right-click the game on the Steam Library > Properties
- In General, under the Launch Options
- Ensure that the command line is empty
