Many players encounter DirectX 12 errors preventing Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth from launching. 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 Windows Start menu search bar.
  2. Type "dxdiag" and select the "dxdiag" application.
  3. Navigate to the "System" tab to check your DirectX version.

If your DirectX version is below 12, consider a Windows update. If you're using an older OS, an upgrade or a refund may be necessary.

If DirectX 12 is installed and the error persists, your graphics card might be the culprit. Check Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's minimum system requirements on the Square Enix website. The recommended GPUs are:

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

An inadequate graphics card may necessitate an upgrade to enjoy the game.
