Many players are encountering launch issues with Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth due to DirectX 12 errors. This is primarily linked to the Windows version. DirectX 12 requires Windows 10 or 11. Older Windows versions are incompatible.

Troubleshooting DirectX 12 Errors

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

  1. Open the Start Menu and type "dxdiag".
  2. Run "dxdiag".
  3. Navigate to the System Information section to check your DirectX version.

If your DirectX version is not 12, consider updating Windows. If you have an older OS, upgrading is the only guaranteed solution. Refunds may be an option if upgrading isn't feasible.

Even with DirectX 12, persistent errors may indicate graphics card incompatibility. Check Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's minimum system requirements on the Square Enix website. Recommended GPUs include:

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

Upgrading your graphics card might be necessary to meet the game's requirements and enjoy optimal performance.
