Therefore, ensure the game you're running is up-to-date. Using outdated versions of games can also lead to unforeseen problems.If it meets the requirement, proceed to the next step. You will have to upgrade your GPU if your GPU does not meet the minimum game requirements. Select the Display tab in the DirectX Diagnostic Tool to check your graphics card specifications and compare them with the system requirements of the game you're encountering the error with.If the issue is limited to a single game, then the following two steps will assist you in finding the problem: So, try running other games and programs that require less graphics-intensive processing than the one you're currently booting and see if you get the same error. If your GPU supports feature level 10.0 and your device runs the latest DirectX version, you should check whether this error occurs only when running a particular game or program, or if it's system-wide. Check If the Issue Only Happens to One Game or Program That’s a win-win, though it sadly won’t help with the lengthy server queue times and reported missing characters that Lost Ark has been grappling with since its delayed launch.4. So Lost Ark players get more frames, and my settings guide isn’t rendered completely useless.

In other words, using those recommended settings in DX9 produced 30% better performance than the Very High preset as-is, while on DirectX 11 they sped things up by 31%. While I’m not super jazzed that the pre-release version was stuck with DX9 – DX11 being just as absent as the female Deadeye’s trousers, and for no more apparent reasoning - I am, as the schmuck that spent several hours benchmarking it, glad to see that the performance gains of lowering individual settings remain proportional in the move from DirectX 9 to 11.

No wonder the Lost Ark Twitter account simply tweeting “DX11” earlier this month was enough to get some people excited.ĭX11- Lost Ark FebruTo see this content please enable targeting cookies. Using the same settings on DX9 got me 95fps, so again DX11 is a direct upgrade with no drawbacks. Switching to my recommended settings of Very High with Indirect Shadows, Distortion Effect and Motion Blur all switched off, Lost Ark could also pump out an 114fps average on DX11. Back on the DX9-only review build, equipping my test PC with a humble GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and running the Very High preset at 1080p produced a 73fps average, but on the public DX11 version this jumped to 87fps. DX11 doesn’t make Lost Ark look better in any other way, but a frame rate boost is a frame rate boost.
