Error A D3D11-Compatible GPU (shader model 5.0, directx 11.0) is required to run the engine

[GamaxyFan]

I am playing Silent Hill 2 Remake and i want to use Vulkan instead of DX12.
However, when i'm putting the files in the directory and launching the game with "-dx11", i got this error :
"A D3D11-Compatible GPU (shader model 5.0, directx 11.0) is required to run the engine"
Directx 11 is already installed in my computer and all other versions as well ( i checked in dxdiag)
I already test other games and i still got the same error

System information

• GPU: RTX 2060 6GB
• Driver: 565.90
• DXVK version: 2.4.1

Log file for dxgi is empy but the one for d3d11 is like this : info: D3D11InternalCreateDevice: Maximum supported feature level: D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_12_1

The log looks fine. Keep in mind that Windows isn't really a supported platform for DXVK and there's often incompatibilities outside of our control.

[mrdeathjr28]

In my case work ok with dxvk 2.4.1 but i use xubuntu 24.04 x64

[Blisto91]

I've checked this on Windows now with my RTX 4080 and am not able to reproduce. Putting d3d11 and dxgi in SILENT HILL 2\SHProto\Binaries\Win64 and launching the game with -dx11 works fine
Make sure you don't have Dozen (OpenCL, OpenGL & Vulkan Compatibility Pack) installed
