Performance Warning: Update DirectX

#1 Post by emz911 » Thu Dec 19, 2019 12:38 am

Hi, I've recently launched a game on Steam and a lot of people have been playing. 2 players recently got this same warning screen for performance/DirectX on their WIndows at launch of the game:
QQ20191218-0.jpg
However, one got this message when her DirectX's version was DirectX 12, so I don't believe this should happen to her (version below):
QQ20191218-0.png
They restarted the game and the message was gone.

My concern is that since my game is in Chinese, as well as my players, not all of them will be able to read this message, and this can lead to potential players quitting the game, which I don't want.
If there isn't a way to fix this problem, is there a way to automatically ignore these type of error messaging screens, so my players will not get them? This would really hurt potential buyers :oops: .

When you create a translation, in the tl / english folder you look at the file where all that information (such as an interactive director, etc.). Find that phrase about directx drivers in the file.

Write your own: update the driver on the PC, and That the message would not be displayed, click on the line "continue, do not show this warning"


And just in case, turn off the developer mode, when often the shift +r is used, this can be displayed warning

Actually, you can just continue show again, or dont show again without updating.

There will be no problem when you did, just like mine, it is a huge performance warning that can appear that sometimes.
I am a friendly user, please respect and have a good day.
