What Causes DirectX 12 Errors in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?

Troubleshooting DirectX 12 Errors

1. Verify Windows Version: Ensure your PC runs Windows 10 or 11. Upgrading your operating system is necessary if you're using an older version.

2. Check DirectX Version: Even on Windows 10/11, confirm your DirectX version:

• Open the Start Menu and type "dxdiag."
• Run "dxdiag."
• Navigate to the "System" tab. Check the "DirectX Version" listed.

If it's not version 12, updating DirectX might resolve the issue (though updates are less common now, as it's largely integrated into Windows).

3. Graphics Card Compatibility: If DirectX 12 is installed, the problem might stem from your graphics card. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has minimum requirements. Check Square Enix's official website for the complete specifications. The recommended GPUs include:

• AMD Radeon™ RX 6600*
• Intel® Arc™ A580
• NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 2060*

If your GPU doesn't meet these minimum requirements, upgrading your graphics card is likely the solution.

4. System Requirements: Consider your overall system specifications. While DirectX 12 is crucial, other components may also be causing the error. Ensure your system meets the minimum requirements outlined by Square Enix.

Resolving DirectX 12 errors often involves verifying your Windows and DirectX versions and ensuring your graphics card meets the game's minimum specifications. If the issue persists after these checks, contact Square Enix support for further assistance.
