DirectX 12 (DX12) is not supported on your system in Marvel Rivals explained
If you have issues with opening Marvel Rivals due to DX12 not supported on your system, here you will find more information about this problem.
With the hero shooter market saturated by long-standing titles like Overwatch 2, Marvel Rivals has made an unprecedented entrance to the scene. Gathering close to half a million players at the same time on Steam alone during the peak (via SteamDB), it received mostly favorable reviews from players. Despite the relative praise, there are issues observed by fans regarding monetization, balance, but also technicalities like stutters and FPS drops, yet there is one specific error that stops many gamers from even launching this production – “DirectX 12 is not supported on your system”. There can be multiple reasons for this message to appear, so let’s try to analyze what can be done about this DX12 challenge.
Marvel Rivals - DirectX 12 not supported on your system explained
It is a bummer, without a doubt, when everyone jumps on the bandwagon of a new game, and you have to go online and troubleshoot problems. Especially when it comes to Marvel Rivals, a title that brings a variety of heroes together. Some of the characters featured in this production have been with us for decades, remembering WW2, shaping several generations of people. What should you do when DirectX12 stands on the way to greatness then?
Start with checking what version of DirectX your GPU supports. You can do so by following the steps below:
- Press Windows key + R on your keyboard,
- In the “run” window which appeared, type “dxdiag” (without quotation marks), and press enter,
- At the bottom of the new window, you will see DirectX version that your system supports.
If you see “DirectX 12” there, make sure that you are using correct graphics card, as it can happen that your computer defaults to the one integrated with your CPU (if your processor has such feature). Of course, updating your GPU drivers won’t hurt, and some players report that it helped in their case.
Sadly, the alternative option is that your system does not support DX12 and Marvel Rivals simply won’t run on your rig. The minimum requirement for this production is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 / AMD RX 580 / Intel Arc A380, so keep that in mind.
If you’ll be able to get into the game eventually, make sure to make use of Hero Assembly option. This feature provides additional currency for you and your friends. Sadly, if they use older generation console they might not be able to play. Also, despite being a good idea, nothing shows that Marvel Rivals will make its way to mobile devices.
