How To Fix DirectX 12 (DX12) Errors in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on PC

If you're running Windows 10 or 11 and still encountering DirectX 12 errors, the first step is to verify your DirectX version. Here’s how to do it:

1. Type “dxdiag” into the Search bar from Start.
2. Click on “dxdiag” to open the DirectX Diagnostic Tool.
3. Navigate to the System Information section to check which version of DirectX is installed.

If you're on an older version of Windows, unfortunately, you won’t be able to run the game without upgrading your operating system. Checking for Windows updates could help, but if that doesn't work, consider seeking a refund or playing a different game.

If your DirectX version is 12 and the error persists, the issue might be with your graphics card. Many players have taken to Reddit to express their struggles with the game's minimum requirements, suggesting that the problem may not be with Windows but with the GPU.

To ensure your system meets the game’s requirements, head over to Square Enix’s official website. Here are the recommended GPUs for *Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth*:

• AMD Radeon™ RX 6600*
• Intel® Arc™ A580
• NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 2060*
