Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the highly anticipated sequel, has been available for nearly a year. Yet, new players are encountering frustrating DirectX 12 errors preventing game launch. These errors stem primarily from compatibility issues with the player's Windows version. DirectX 12 requires Windows 10 or 11; older versions won't support it.

How To Fix DirectX 12 (DX12) Errors in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PC

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

  1. Open the Start menu and type "dxdiag".
  2. Select "dxdiag".
  3. Navigate to the System Information section to identify your DirectX version.

Unfortunately, if you're using an older Windows version, upgrading is necessary to resolve the issue. Consider seeking a refund or exploring alternative games.

If you have DirectX 12 and the error persists, your graphics card might be the culprit. Many players report this on Reddit, highlighting the game's minimum requirements.

Check Square Enix's official website for the game's specifications. Recommended GPUs include:

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

Upgrading your GPU might be necessary for optimal gameplay. While this is an added expense, it ensures the best possible Final Fantasy VII Rebirth experience.
