Community ManagerHello! I had issues with the DirectX 11 👎
So after the last update I had an issue with my game where I couldn't adjust my ASUS laptop's volume (by using the keyboard's volume buttons) or take any screenshots (Windows key + prt sc) during the game without it causing recoloring/flickering on the screen, and I had to just close the game because it was not playable. Pressing any keyboard buttons like Windows button didn't do anything, I couldn't exit the game or play it unless I exited the game from the game menu (I was able to do it because of muscle memory lol). I never had this issue before nor did I have this issue when not playing. So basically when the game closed my laptop was fine.
So I started trying everything any simmer tries first: remove Mods folder, repair game, maybe even uninstall the game or even do a whole clean up for your computer, relocate your existing save file somewhere else so that the game creates a new folder automatically... etc. I also checked my laptop's own updates, drivers... Everything seemed fine... So nothing worked UNTIL I figured maybe the issue was this new DirectX 11 thing (frankly, idek what it is) so I did what the instructions told me and I went back to DirectX 9 and guess what! Problem solved, hooray! I started getting so worried my laptop was dying or my game was fully broken.
I have AMD and my laptop said it supports the 11, but nope...
@Pankratz25 Hi, hard to say! If I were you I'd try the DirectX 11 once more after updating the drivers, but if after that the issue remains, I'd just switch back to DirectX 9. It seems that many people have issues with the 11 :/ But I'm not an expert on these, so... take my advice with a grain of salt.
