DirectX - the way it is SUPPOSED to work: DirectX is a wonderful software tool for game developers. A laymen’s guide to DirectX for software engineers - which apparently the software engineers for Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) need to read as they aren’t using it correctly in the latest patch: Each version of DirectX contains more available features than the previous - for example, new features in DirectX 11 (not present in previous versions) included: Compute Shader, Dynamic Shader Linkingm, Multithreading, Tessellation, and a few others. Nait AD DK Not a Grand Overlord Naitachal AD Templar Also Not a Grand Overlord Coronar DC Templar Will Never be a Grand Overlord Fail Sorc AD Sorc Thinks Trying To Reach Grand Overlord Would Be A Bad Idea Common Sense DC Warden Likes His Name, But Is Too Lazy To Even Think About Grand Overlord Rematar EP Templar Is Too Disillusioned By The Current State Of The Game to Consider AP Farming Wyre EP Sorc The First Sorc Is Named Fail Sorc For A Reason Coroin AD Warden Because everyone needs a stamina warden who can roll around towers. I believe that instead of crashing, if the game truly will not support (even at lower settings) players without DirectX 11 capable video cards then it will - upon correction of the bug, give a graceful exit with an error message of 'Sorry player, your video card is too old for this game, please go buy a new one!'Įdited by Crown on Ma2:27AM. Hopefully this will help the developers identify what they added into this patch that causes the crash on execution of eso.exe. My wife's GTX 970 system started working after uninstalling the nVidia drivers, rebooting, then re-installing the latest ones (released a day or two ago on their web site). Regarding my own system, a reformat / re-install (GTX Titan Black) fixed my crashing issue. I believe that if anyone gets past that point and into the game (I've not tried the 5 minute load screen again), then the game will play VERY poorly, as all of the DirectX 11 optimizations will be handled by the CPU instead of the GPU (video card), so quality of everything will go down significantly. I tried this on an older laptop (Intel HD 3000 which does not support past DirectX 10.1), and it let me log in, though the load screen of 5 minutes caused a time out after that. Click Apply, then OK The simple explanation: This will cause software to pretend that the system (video card and respective drivers) supports DirectX 11 in the way that the ZOS developers have coded the requirement (or some sort of function call upon opening the game client - which doesn't make sense, though that's how they did it).
