Directx 12 issue and solution

[Valandes]

Ok I know this is an old topic, but since I couldn't find any useful solution I'll have to seek help from the community.

Currently there seems to be no support for directx 12, in the mean time I could not find a way to downgrade my driver to 11.

Does this leaves me with only one option, that is running the openGL?

Thanks




Processor Intel® Core™ i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz, 2808 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)
GPU  NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti

Latest version of both directx(12) and VS 2017 installed

Direct3D11, 10 and 9 all work fine on DirectX12 hardware.

You might not have noticed, but most new games still use Direct3D11 too.

Your NVIDIA GPU is great for running OpenGL btw, and the OpenGL backend is the most advanced.

PCSX2 stops running upon loading the game if I choose Directx11 or 9.

Then update direct using June 2010 redist

Win10 come with dx12, but pcsx2 1.4 require that user to install dx12 June 2010 redist. The later pcsx2 do not have
such requirement. Btw what is vs 2017 ?

Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2017 bottom of the page

One of the dozen or so general use redistributables microsoft makes for various programs the majority of random windows programs use

I also get dotNet (multiple versions)
DirectX (multiple updates for 9 and 10, less for 11 since it is better about not needing as many past ones to work)
Visual C++ 2005-2017 (the older ones I get both the 32bit versions and the 64bit ones)

The practical upshot of making this part of my reinstall package is that I almost never have windows errors when using less common (or even older) programs.

I thought pcsx2 require only vc++ 2015 x86 to function ? Why u need to update to vc++ 2017 ?

You are correct. The buildbot isn't using 2017 yet.

The VC++ 2017 redists do still work though. I don't have 2015 redists installed, only 2017, and the dev builds still run without issue.

It shouldn't work
