There's a small section of players who simply cannot play the game

Hi folks,

Just wanted to create some awareness around an issue that's stopping a section of players from being able to download the alpha and get playing! It's not had much traction so I thought I'd raise it to see if we can find fixes or even just push it up the urgency list for the devs to work on (if that's even possible!).

The issue is detailed in this forum post but the tl;dr is that players are shown the error: "DirectX 12 is required to run this application. Please ensure your OS and graphics card support DirectX 12 and try again"

However, these players do have DirectX 12 installed and there doesn't seem to be a known fix that works for all. Several different fixes have been tried (re-install everything, fix launcher, check drivers, pray, etc.) to no positive result.

The CM's are aware, there's a forum post up and tickets have been raised but it would be great to get an update on a potential fix - QOL / minor bug fixes are great but there are players who can't actually get into the game!

If anyone has a fix that isn't a suggestion on the forum post then please do fire it into the comments!
