DIRECTX12

[PHANTOM LRG]

someone please help directx12 is driving me batsh** crazy everytime i adjust graphical settings in warzone it crashes and pops up with an error saying directx12 encountered and unrecoverable error but i need to change the graphics settings for the game to be even half playable on my pc running a ryzen 5 3600x 16gb 3200 ram and gtx 960 pending upgrade due to dumb prices

I would try uninstalling and reinstalling DX12 and then the game. 

 

If that doesn't fix it then you might be able to find the settings in a config file someplace so that you can change them before running the game

I believe dx12 is built into windows.
Id use ddu to remove gpu drivers and then reinstall rhem

Basically, you download the DDU software, restart your PC in safe mode then run DDU. Once that is done, restart your PC again just how you would normally and redownload your GPU drivers from Nvidia's website.

Well it wouldn't make sense to download it before using the DDU software because the purpose of that software is to remove all GPU drivers from the system. The easiest way to boot into safemode is to hold shift when clicking restart and it should come up with a list of 9 (I think) options and safemode is about number 5.

Alright, i'm going to make this very simple.

 

Grab a copy of the latest drivers for your GPU so you have them ready to go. Do not install them yet.

 

Download and run DDU. Click OK on any pop ups when you first open it. Do NOT worry about the safe mode warning, you do not need to run it in safe mode.

 

It will look like this:

 

Select GPU then Nvidia where I have #1, then Clean and Restart where I have #2. Very easy.

 

Boot back up and install the latest drivers you downloaded already.

Safe mode is unnecessary and DDU isn't going to do anything about the driver installer sitting in your downloads, it does not touch that stuff.

So, the reason for that is Windows likes to install drivers on its own. What you'd do is after clicking clean and reboot, you can pull your ethernet connection (or disable your wifi adapter i guess if you're using wifi..) until your drivers are back and fully installed just to ensure Windows doesn't try to install a basic Nvidia driver on its own. I've found this isn't really necessary either but I sometimes do just to to be safe.

I would recommend it, and I know that, but the way he worded was that he was going to install the new driver before using DDU which would be pointless.
