I'm curious to know if there actually ANY way to get the game to work on a laptop that doesn't support directx11.. my gf bought the game and can't play sadly 🙁

Update windows, update drivers... BUt hope is slim

#

Most likely she won't be able to play sadly

#

We have directX 12 listed at minimum system requirement for a reason :(

Awe 🙁 is there any news or thought of allowing dx11? Or is it just lost hope?

They use Nanite meshes or Virtual Shadow Maps (or both) so probably not going to happen.

Do you not upgrade to DX12 with updating to Win 11? Which I thought was a free upgrade, at least in the US. Been awhile since I have done it. Just a thought since I know others with more knowledge are pulled in a million directions.

The software also requires the hardware to be there to support it.

Plus the existence of Agility SDK further complicates things and makes DXdiag report basically unreliable.
