Hi everyone, thought I'd drop this here incase someone has the same issue. If your game is crashing when you press play on steam. As in, press play. Black screen. Game shuts down. I fixed it by running the game in DX11 through steam.

(IM NOT A DEV) and I'm sure they'd want you to run it using dx13. However I didn't want to update my GPU driver as it causes issues. So that was the fix.

What's your GPU and driver version?

I would also like to add that I did -dx11 -novid -console and that's what fixed it.

your driver is ancient.. can you install a newer version?

๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜‚ I know its super old. The issue is, if I install a newer driver, it'll mess up all my other games and programs. However, the game runs perfectly fine. Unless, You want me to install a newer driver as it will help with the development of the game.

Id also like to point out that with the old driver, I am constantly getting 144FPS, with my CPU(10750h) turbo disabled (Clock speed maxes at 2.5 GHz) So whatever you guys are doing to optimise this game. Its working great. So I know you're probably busy reading and answering other bugs, But take a breath and congratulate yourself because you guys made one hell of a game.

DX11 is there mostly for compatibility issues and to support a more broad set of hardware..
However, it will have worse performance than DX12, the catch is DX12 requirers users to be on recent versions of GPU drivers as folks from Nvidia, AMD, Intel and Epic have been continusly working on improving stability and correctess in their graphics pipeline

#

Glad to hear you are getting decent performance on DX11
