Struggling with satisfactory/dx12 ... i got the answer

[mjs warlord]

Since 1.0 was released i have had to put -dx11 in the properties box as the game would go to splash screen then close to desktop if i tried to use dx12.
Lots of players tried things that did not work

I then had the idea that something might need deleting but what ????

I ran ccleaner that i had not used for a long time i am not sure what got deleted to fix the problem but next time i tried to launch satisfactory i took -dx11 out of the properties box and it worked.

I double checked the games settings in the video tab and i am deffo running dx12

Hmmmm i wonder if Zed will see this lol

Sounds like there was a registry key messing up something. Strange, but I'm happy for you that you managed to fix the problem.

I didn't have to do that, fortunately. I probably wouldn't have been smart enough to figure that out.

By the way, you should respond to this thread:

What are your top 10 games of all time?

PCG recently posted its top 100 list. Unfortunately, it was wrong. To help set the record straight for history, we need to come up with our own list. So put your top 10 games of all time here, and I will put them together into a top 100, or maybe a top 50, PCG Forums list. Your responses will...
