DirectX mode not functioning when it should

#1 Post by SpaceTrucker-284 » 10 Jun 2026 03:42

OS: Windows 11; Processor: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700HX, 2100 Mhz, 16 Cores, 24 Logical Processors; Graphics Card: NVIDIA 4060

Game refuses to run on DirectX even though other games work fine with DirectX. Currently running with worse graphics with OpenGL. Also it previously was able to run on DirectX but now is completely unable to. No mods are installed.

Here's the game.log.txt: https://pastebin.com/VC2etGeP
(crash log is from October so it seems irrelevant here)

(My guess is that it's related to being unable to create swapchain 0x887a0005, but I am no expert)

I've updated the graphics and I've tried getting rid of the config file and I know this card should be able to handle it. Although it can run with OpenGL it does not look as pretty unfortunately :( Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As you said it's because it's unable to initiate the swapchain. Why I'm not so sure.

00:00:04.430 : <ERROR> [dxgi] Failed to create swapchain! (0x887a0005)
00:00:04.431 : <ERROR> [gfx] failed to initialize device! (dx11)

You could try:

Uninstalling and reinstalling your GPU drivers
Uninstalling and reinstalling DX
