DirectX Error
If you are facing issues with the current version of DirectX the game is using, try switching to another available version. The “Fatal Application Exit” error will not allow gamers to get into the game. Thus, the only option is to edit the Config file to alter the DirectX version used by the game.
In case players face the “renderdevicedx11.cpp createTexture2D failed,” then they need to shift to DirectX 12 from DirectX 11. If the “renderdeviceidx12.cpp” message pops up, players need to shift to DirectX 11 from DirectX12. Follow these steps to switch DirectX versions:
- Open the folder where your game is installed.
- Now, locate the config.ini file. Right click and open it with a text editor like Notepad.
- Scroll down and search for the line with the DirectX number. Change it from 12 to 11 or vicev-versa.
- Now, save the file and close it.
- Right click on config.ini and head over to properties.
- Set the file to read-only so that the game does not reset the settings back to DirectX 11 or DirectX 12.
- Relaunch the game.
Incompatible OS
Several gamers have reported that uaing older versions of Windows like 8.1 and 7 is causing the issue to come back. In case you have not updated to Windows 10 yet, now is the time to do so. You can also skip Windows 10 and get Windows 11 directly if your hardware supports it.
