Troubleshooting DirectX 12 Errors in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

1. Verify Windows Version and DirectX Update:

If you're using Windows 10 or 11, check your DirectX version:

• Open the Start menu and type "dxdiag."
• Run "dxdiag."
• Navigate to the System Information section to view your DirectX version.

If you have an older Windows version, an update might be available. However, upgrading to Windows 10 or 11 is the most reliable solution.

2. Check Graphics Card Compatibility:

Even with DirectX 12 installed, graphics card incompatibility can cause errors. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has minimum GPU requirements. Square Enix's website lists the following recommended GPUs:

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

If your GPU doesn't meet these specifications, upgrading may be necessary for optimal gameplay.
