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.

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

  1. Open the Start menu and type "dxdiag".

  3. Navigate to the System Information section to identify your DirectX version.
