Skelly 1 Posted March 9, 2013 Everytime I launch arma 3 it gets to the little arma 3 loading thing then just pops up an error after its done and is about to launch the game. I really dont know the specs you need to fix this but i do have the error right here. I will provide any specs that you need of my pc when and if it is needed.

metalcraze 290 Posted March 9, 2013 Your videocard doesn't support DX11 (or 10 for that matter) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skelly 1 Posted March 9, 2013 is there any way that i can fix that or do i have to get another graphics card? EDIT: I do believe that my graphics card does support DX11 and 10 becuase DX11 is used in battlefield bad company 2 which i can play sooo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skelly 1 Posted March 9, 2013 ok well if someone could tell me on how to do so that would be great if nothing works i am willing to buy i a new graphics card i need a new one anyway but its going to have to be under 100$ maybe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bn880 5 Posted March 9, 2013 Right click on Arma III in your Steam Library>Properties>Set launch options Add -winxp That should force Dx9 compatibility mode. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skelly 1 Posted March 9, 2013 I think it is saying that i am out of memory on my graphics card not anything to do with directx 11 so is there anyway of allocating more memory to my graphics card? EDIT: and i tried the -winxp thing and still dosent work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bn880 5 Posted March 9, 2013 Right, the 7900GS is under the minimum system requirements for A3. (8800GT is minimum in NVIDIA Desktop cards) Specifically you have 256MB of VRAM when 512MB is required. You can try however to see if you can get it to start by editing the config file by setting everything to minimum (search the forum for config setting editing), including resolution of 800x600. Use startup paramebers of -nobenchmark -winxp The real solution however is indeed to buy some new graphics card, I wouldn't buy with less than 1GB no matter how tight the budget.

Clearly, this "solution" is actually not a solution, since there are more of us with the same problem but using much newer graphics cards: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?149158-Crash-on-launch-Cannot-create-DX11-device Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
