Anyone else fail with DX 10/11?

[Anarchist]

Great stuff, fine and fun, but it crashes in Direct X 11/12. It works OK on DX 9, but that is sad after years of DX 11/12.

Anyone else get this? Win7 64 bit, 8GB RAM NVIDIA Graphics Card (something pretty good, forget which, 1 GB RAM)

Works fine for me in 5760x1080 in DX11. Which is extremely nice, since you can see a huge chunk of the map at any given time. Would be nice to be able to rotate the monitors 90 degrees for this game, but they aren't designed for that.

What video card are you using?

Ouch. Yes, I'd like to know too. It makes me when updates limit functionality...

Your RAM is below the required amount of 2 GB. I'm not sure if that's causing the problem, though.

My PC RAM is 8 GB, my GC RAM is 1 GB. (just try running Win7 64 bit in 1 GB RAM!)

his GPU ram is 1 GB his pc ram is 8 gb as he said.
my specs are i7 920
nVidia GeForce GTX 580
Windows 7 x64 ultimate
DDR2 ram 8 gb

game crashes randomly usually when loading turns, just turns black screen and stays there, and then i have to kill the process in task manager

The 520M is unfortunately a super low-end card, surpassed in some areas by our specified nVidia min-spec card.

Could you try turning off GPU Texture Decode in the options and see if that makes a difference for you?

Same issue, I'vehad it randomly since a G & K patch. Don't know why... 11 always worked for me before... Irritating

You're dicing with the devil any time you try to get a laptop video card to play a modern game. Been there, done that, got the merit badge...and that was fifteen years ago.

Haven't bought a desktop for 7 years, and probably never will again. The best gaming laptop I had was Alienware, but that weighed 4 kg, sucked so much juice I could never use it on planes, and the battery only lasted a couple of hours. It might as well have been a desktop!

OK, thanks. It was fine before this update, though, so I am still surprised it is not working. Maybe a patch will randomly fix it....
