Heads up for DX12 Players

If you have been using the DX12 mode (And are planning to do so for Season 21) then it might be important to make sure you're still launching the DX12 version properly.

With Season 21, the command to launch the game into DX12 mode has changed, so if you do not update it, it's likely that either:

A. The game doesn't boot up

B. You boot up into the standard DX11 mode

From the Upheaval Patch Notes:

  • Changed the way players opt-in to the DX12 beta: if you're playing via the DirectX 12 beta now, the launch argument "-eac_launcher_settings SettingsDX12.json" should be changed to "-anticheat_settings=SettingsDX12.json"

Just make sure to change it as mentioned above, happy gaming!

  • That we still have to type in some crap to make it work is somewhat stupid.
    The fricken game could just ask me what type i want , like any other game that supports different renderers.
    Also the new iteration of broken moon is very underwhelming in case of performance. game now drops to 80 fps at times where it usually would not go under 120fps.

  • so after some tryin this n that: the issues might be caused by eac. yet when tryin manually to start up the eac exe just nothing happens. the window that should open, giving me the option to reinstall eac doenst show up. manually deleting eac, veryfiying game files, using the -anti..... command for dx12, crashes me to desktop. so. fix when?

  • @r1ggedgame dunno about broken moon frame drops my game sits at 299-300 solid, 3440x1440 max gfx.
    never had any frame drops. maybe adjust your settings?

    ill try the dx12 launch and see how that goes for me and let ya know if i get any similar problems.

    also when a feature is in beta then it makes sens to not have it as an option and allow those who are interested to test it out and provide feed back. the amount of backlash from users who dont understand beta status might hinder development.
