Hello,

I have two games in my Epic Games library that won't launch. (Fortnite; Dead by Daylight)

When I try to start either of them, the following message appears:

My dxdiag is as follows:

I have often read about a workaround that involves adding additional command lines (through the Epic Games Launcher settings) to force the use of DirectX 12 (-dx12) since my dxdiag indicated that I had DirectX 12. However, it's still not working.

In my opinion, it's the Intel card that is blocking it. Yet, its driver is up to date according to the device manager.

I also read that sometimes you need to update Windows 10 to version 22H2. Done, no change.

Will I be able to bypass the problem by buying a new GPU, regardless of its power?

    Hello

    Your PC is about twelve years old....

    Indeed, the mentioned games won't run on the Intel GPU of the processor.

    And frankly, it's not a good idea to invest in a graphics card; the PC is too old and it's uncertain whether the case or the power supply is suitable for one.

        I'm losing my sight, damn it's true

        Power = 240W standard efficiency, active PFC

        Dimensions = 44.8 x 17.8 x 44.5 cm

        power = https://www.amazon.com/503376-001-HP-D2402A0-HP-D2402E0-613763-001-611481-001/dp/B07CVW7VKY/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=hp%2B8300%2Bpower%2Bsupply&qid=1684529142&sr=8-3&th=1

        putting a GeForce GT 1030 of 30Watts is still pushing it

        and to replace it???!!!

    After further research, I realized that it would be too complicated to solve my problem.

    As you mentioned, my tower is 12 years old and it’s a refurbished business PC, so it's not optimized for resource-intensive games.

    I’m giving up. In any case, I’m not losing anything since the games are stored on an external hard drive.
