DICE, why is this game shipped DX11 enabled- is there something wrong with DX12?

Dx12 is the only api available in battlefield 2042

@CPU_UKIt runs better on DX12, they just do that to *** you off

@emerson1975 PROFSAVE_profile file defo has it off by default 'GstRender.Dx12Enabled 0'

If you run Afterburner while playing, you will see that DX12 is the default, indeed the only, API used.This is a matter of fact and very simple to check.

@Norby123 No I wasn’t, however a week later I stopped playing because of their refusal to bring back everything battlefield was supposed to be. I’m just playing other better games while I wait for them to fix their broken garbage.

@CPU_UK You have to Manually activate DX12, I went on youtube and watched a video how to do that and better optimize the game for playability changing settings they wont give you access to in-game like they should. Game runs better now and getting better FPS.

the game has only one API > DX12
so, it doesn’t matter what setting is in the config 😉

@CountSero Oh that's why I get less FPS when it's GstRender.Dx12Enabled 0

@Ruggels you weren't banned for that?!? I changed it to DX12 too, but than I reverted it back, cos I didn't want to mess around with "unsupported" features. A few hours later I got banned for "cheating". -.- srsly, what the f....

@KalashDEM the problem is more an unoptimized implementation of the DX12 API

If you happy with messing around with the settings that’s ok

But I’m not so experimental anymore and I don’t know what random effect such things will cause in the background.

Turned DX to 1, that defo smoothed out the game, but no change in fps (70-80). New file appeared in cache called '9352.BattlefieldGame.PcDx12'. Then dropped quality settings from High to medium, I'm now cooking on 110-120fps.
