With every new release, there are bound to be errors and issues that cause problems in the game. One of the issues that players get when launching Remnant 2 is the DX12 not supported error. If you are one of the unlucky ones plagued by this error, we are here to help you fix the DirectX 12 not supported issue with Remnant 2.
How to Fix Remnant 2 DirectX 12 Not Supported Error on PC
Upon launching Remnant 2, players get the following error message
DX12 is not supported on your system. Try running without the -dx12 or -d3d12 command line augment.
The error can be because of either of the following issues:
- Either outdated or corrupted GPU Drivers. This issue can occur for both AMD and Nvidia GPU
- Another major issue is hardware limitation. Older generation GPUs and CPUs do not support DirectX 12, which can be causing the issue.
- Corrupted game files can also either refuse to detect DirectX 12 or cause errors with the driver.
You can try the following fixes for resolving the DirectX12 error for Remnant 2.
Ensuring Hardware Compatibility
The first step to resolving the issue is ensuring that your PC’s specs at least meet the minimum requirement for Remnant 2. The minimum requirements for Remnant 2 are as follows:
- CPU: Intel Core i5-7600 / AMD Ryzen 5 2600
- RAM: 16 GB
- GPU: GeForce GTX 1650 / AMD Radeon RX 590
- GPU Ram: 4096 MB
- Operating Software: Windows 10/11
- Disk Space: 80 GB
If your requirements are below these, you will run into the issue no matter what.
Updating GPU Drivers
After almost every new major release, both Nvidia and AMD release new drivers to support the game. You should first check if you are missing the latest drivers, and update them.
The divers for both AMD and Nvidia can be updated through their software. To start off, use Display Driver Uninstaller to completely remove your GPU driver and its associated registry files for a clean start. Once your PC restarts, download the latest version of your GPU driver from Geforce Experience or AMD Software.
If in case this doesn’t solve your issue, try installing an older version of the GPU drivers as the latest ones tend to be messy sometimes.
Updating Windows
New pending Windows updates can often interfere with any running program. You can check if you have any pending Windows updates and download and install them to remove any issue caused by them.
- Right click on the start menu and enter your settings. Here, enter the Update & Security tab.
- In the Windows Update, check for any pending update.
- You can manually check for updates as well.
- If you have any pending updates, download them and restart your PC to install them.
