  • We had this same problem during the beta and reported the issue then.

    A shame it still doesn't seem to be working...

    While I can't seem to be able to find the beta comments, from what I recall, you don't need to re-install.  You just need to remove the "settings" folder in the "STAR WARS Battlefront II" folder within "My Documents" -> My Documents\STAR WARS Battlefront II\settings.  Next time the game loads, it will recreate the files with their defaults.

    BTW - If anyone knows specifically what we're missing by not having DX12, it would be great to post that.

  • not sure it is worth using dx12. 

    youtube comparo done by bang4buck pc gamer showed side by side fps of dx 11 vs 12, dx11 was about 20fps on average better.

    although this is with an nVidia gpu, if you have an amd it might make sense.

    cheers

    I'm closing this thread to stop it being necroed.

    If you have any issues with SWBF2 please make a new topic about the issues you are having and what kind of steps you have tried to solve it.
