Nope, Im running windows 10 in a HP Notebook, so I have to reinstall Windows 10 again? Like, deleting everything and stuff? I really wanted to avoid that but If nothing else could help me then I guess this must be the only way.
When you said that they can´t be fixed, you mean that when you try to run the compatibility program? Because everytime I tried to run it on DXSetup.exe it never did.
The again, I heard somewhere that DirectX 12 doesn´t run many games right now, could it be that? I mean, I know i´m being delusional, I just really wanted to avoid the reinstalling Windows 10 thing ;n; But oh well.
Thank you very much for answering!
@caatmoreno DX 12 runs on Windows 10 (and up?). Windows 10 does not support anything lower then DX 12. DX 12 supports everything below DX 12 (or is supposed to). I recently had to regen my gaming computer because Windows 10 got damaged and there is no (no known) way to reinstall the damaged parts. The computer booted and ran programs but I couldn't backup and restore and I couldn't turn on Defender. Every time I tried to fix Windows it got worse. I tried several solutions but they must have been out of date as nothing ever got fixed. This is over 2 years of trying things and I finally pulled out the install disc and started over. There may have been a solution but Microsoft sure wouoldn't tell me. I almost was going to call Microsoft and pay to fix it BUT the last time (many years ago) I ended up with a broken operating system and had to reinstall anyway so I thought I'd save the money. hth
btw - today I find it faster (and cheaper) to regen then it is to try and fix a bad operating system. Most people don't want to wait days (weeks -months) to get their system back. There are three basic things you should learn and practice in computers BACKUP, BACKUP, and BACKUP
So I finally did what you said, and it worked for me.
Surprinsingly I thought that It would take me at least two days to get my system back, but no, it took me like and hour or less to get Windows 10 back and with a clean reinstall.
I could finally install the game and im really happy about it, you were right, it probably got corrupted at some point and this was the only way, lol.Thank you very much for your help and patience! :D
