So I downloaded that and updated the AMD control panel.Īt this point, Diablo II was still not working, I kept getting the dx12 failed to initialize error. I then checked on my drivers and found that while they were up to date, the control software from AMD was not. In it, I didn’t see the version listings that other screenshots had shown, but I also didn’t see anything that would imply I couldn’t run it. Well, looking into it, I decided to run dxdiag and see what versions of DirectX my graphics card would run. I can’t say this will work for every DX12 game and Windows 7, but I can now play Diablo II Remastered and that is all that I really cared about. Yes, you can get DirectX12 to work with other games. After all, I have been playing WoW: TBC Classic which is build upon the same core engine as the current retail game.Īnswer is yes. When I learned of this it made me wonder if there was a way to get my system to make it work for other games. Turns out, I learned that Activision-Blizzard managed to convince Microsoft to create a Windows 7 version of DirectX 12 for their World of Warcraft player base.
