Mantle API enabled without research. How can I disable it ?
I patched Dragon Age Inquisition and looked through the graphics options and saw the option to switch between DX11 and Mantle. "That sounds cool I'll try that!". Except I didn't check that my old 6990 actually supports Mantle, which it doesn't.
Now trying to start DAI gives me a DirectX Mantle error and it crashes out without leaving the desktop. Is there a command line option or a config file/registry entry I can edit to revert that to DX11 again?
After a few hours I found my own answer.
In "C:\Users\<username>\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age Inquisition\Save" is a file called ProfileOptions_profile . I found this because raptr had made a backup copy. Edit it with a text editor like notepad++ and change the line below from 1 to 0.
GstRender.MantleEnabled 1
Save and close the file, DAI launches again.
