DX12 issues...

[RisingSun]

Hi all!

DX12 is faster than DX11, with better FPS and quicker turns.

Yet a sad downturn is the leaders animations that suddenly bring the framerate to 160fps to what seems like 30fps, making the interface and the animation blocky as hell.

Is there any solution to this?

Thanks in advance!

There is a thread about this in the technical forum. I updated my drivers and that seemed to solve it. Too early to tell for sure

There doesn't seem to be any recent thread about this. Also, my drivers are the latest.

Does it happen to you as well? I am using an Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080Ti

Yes it happened. I could not start a game. Got the message that drivers were outdated and the game returned to desktop (I could play it on DX11). There was an NVIDIA update two days ago and when I downloaded it that fixed the issues I was having

That forum is virtually abandoned. Not even *one* of the threads about this issue has received an answer.

The issue I'm complaining about is NOT what you had. My issue is that DX12 is smooth, quick and all - but leader screens, despite Steam telling me the game it's going at 80-90fps in those scenes, are very awkwardly choppy - like 30fps or so.

Anybody using the DX12 version of the game here, at all?

I played the DX12 version last night on my 980 ti rig ang noticed no problems whatsoever.

I played this afternoon with my RX580 (19.1.1 drivers) and I didn't notice any issue.

I disabled antialiasing and it worked for me. GTX 960M card here.

I had this problem on my older computer. It’s a memory issue. You need more RAM.

I’ve been having issues with my Civ files. Whenever I go to verify integrity through steam it says that I have three files missing and then it acquires them.

I think this is what has made the game stutter. I’ve updated my drivers and even had them with a clean install.

I have a good rig and civ used to work well but now it doesn’t.

Yes, I have the same issue with DX12. Game really wonderfully smooth, but leaders animation dropping to what feels like about 16fps.

Using GTX 1080, I7 7700K CPU and 16GB RAM.

It wasn't like this before Gathering Storm.

i noticed the game is a lot darker and less bright in dx12 mode too. i noticed this last night.

Interesting. I had that problem all last week, but it seems to have disappeared since GS installed,

EDIT: Typos

Someone from firaxis is asking for ini files for those still with dx12 problems in the technical forum

 

[leif erikson]

Yes, if you are having these problems, Dennis Shirk from Firaxis is asking here for the information.

edit - Please post so he can help you all out.

Yes! I have this issue too with DX12. I thought it was some weird GSync issue or something, but the game runs fabulously in all cases except for the leader screens, which are super choppy. Glad it’s not just me! Will experiment more today with DX11.

Please post your logs in the forum linked above. The more info Firaxis has, the quicker the fix.
