There's nothing worse than eagerly anticipating a game, only to be met with frustrating errors. Many Final Fantasy VII Rebirth players on PC are currently encountering DirectX 12 (DX12) issues preventing them from playing. Let's troubleshoot these problems.
What Are DirectX 12 Errors in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the highly anticipated sequel, has been available for almost a year, yet new players are facing a common hurdle: DirectX 12 errors that prevent game launch. The problem usually stems from the Windows version. DirectX 12 requires Windows 10 or 11.
How To Fix DirectX 12 (DX12) Errors in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on PC
If you're using Windows 10 or 11, check your DirectX version:
- Type "dxdiag" into the Start menu search bar.
- Click "dxdiag."
- Navigate to the System Information section to find your DirectX version.
Unfortunately, if you're using an older Windows version, upgrading is necessary. Consider seeking a refund or exploring alternative games until you can upgrade your OS.
Even with DirectX 12 installed, errors might persist. This often points to insufficient graphics card capabilities. Many players report this on Reddit. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has minimum requirements; ensure your GPU meets them:
- AMD Radeon™ RX 6600*
- Intel® Arc™ A580
- NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 2060*
Upgrading your graphics card might be necessary for a smooth gaming experience. Square Enix aims to deliver optimal gameplay, and meeting these requirements is crucial.
