Game is unplayable in Windows 10

February 11, 2016 2:21:37 PM from Ashes of the Singularity ForumsAshes of the Singularity Forums

I got this game on Windows 7 and on startup, it said that Windows 10 supports DirectX12 and allows you to use all CPU cores. So I upgraded to Windows 10 and when I launch the Win 10 DirectX12 version, I load the game, click start and I can see nothing but terrain. And then I click menu, and I can see the map in the background but when I try to close the Menu window, the window just stays on the screen even though the game is running in the background. So I cannot play this game in Windows 10 which was the whole reason for my upgrade. I  have checked my video card settings but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

 

My video card is SAPPHIRE Radeon R9 270X, G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB DDR3 SDRAM and AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition Thuban 3.2 GHz.

Is it working on DX11 for you on Windows 10?

Also, have you updated your video drivers on Windows 10 or are you still using the base drivers that came with Windows 10 (which don't really support DX12)?

Yeah the DX11 version works just fine.

 

And yeah, since I did a clean install for Win 10, I got the latest drivers from the AMD site. I just wonder if the game would run smoother in the DX12 version.

your specs are fine, check windows update manually, Google Directx Runtime web installer, and reinstal the graphics driver, it might help also type : dxdiag in the bottom left corner search bar, and run it, it will show if you are running DX12 or not

you have more than enough power

It should run better on DX 12 than DX 11.
