✭My game insta-crashes when I try to launch it. As admin, directly from the game folder, 32-bit or 64-bit... doesnt make a difference. I do have a DX11-compatible GPU (GTX 970).
I'll try repairing and see if that helps...0 -

✭✭✭✭Nvidia has never 100% supported every single feature of Direct X 11, or 11.1 so im not surprised to see this happening. Those in the know in PC hardware have known this for years.

Everyone knows AMD is better at Compute performance and hardware level DirectX feature support (AMD is the only one that fully supports Direct X 12 right now, both of my GPU 100% support it including Asynchronous compute) Nvidia has always been better with propreitary feature such as Gameworks, Shadowplay, etc.
Simply put if you want to play ESO in the future with no issues, go buy a AMD GPU and be done with it.
This is 100% Nvidia's fault for adverting these GPU's as DirectX 11 compliant when they are not...this is not ZOS fault, its Nvidia's fault...its why i stopped buying their stuff back in 2010.....because it didn't support the specs....

So @Rylana is correct and it's about the hardware version and not only the software version/compatibility mode? Any source for this? Isn't the dx11 emulated by the drivers and therefore should it work?
So do you really need such a new graphics card to run the game now? I'd like to have a clear statement from this from ZOS as it determines if I should troubleshoot further or I shouldn't and have to decide to either buy a new graphics card or quit the game. If it is compatible, I'd rather wait with upgrading my gpu before those things get better/cheaper.4 -

frethopper✭✭✭There is a planet where it's Nvidia's fault that I can't play ESO on my gaming PC tonight, but it isn't this planet guys, it really isn't. You are correct in what you are saying, but the fact remains that yesterday I could log onto the PTS using my gaming PC and play the very latest version of the game. Today that same machine is incapable of running the game. This is nothing to do with Nvidia.1 -
RinaldoGandolphi✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭As a temporary fix to this you can do this:
1. Open your UserSettings.txt file
2. Find the line that says SET GraphicsDriver.7 "D3D11"
3. Change that line to this SET GraphicsDriver.7 "OPENGL"
Now start the game and see what it does.
This should force the game to render in OPENGL instead of DirectX. If your GPU supports OpenGL 4.1 or newer this should work for you. Its all you can really try that this point i think.

Try launching the game then and see if it works. if your running Crossfire or SLI turn it off before launching the game so we can pinpoint where the issue is, im on lunch now and have a meeting after work, the soonest i can get home to address these problems if after 8pm EST. Try some of this stuff and get back to me.

Sa0n✭✭✭I encourage you to read this, because it fixed the crash issue for my laptop from 2012. (GT630M and dxdiag doesn't show dx11 in the feature levels.)
Alright, so this got the 64bit client to launch. Still can't log in though. (Errors 108 and 201)
Ensure your video driver is selecting the correct GPU for ESO.
Open either the NVIDIA Control Panel or AMD Catalyst Control Panel and ensure that ESO64.exe is making use of your primary GPU.

Also, what's with the game taking so long to quit?

From the 2.3.5 patch notes:DirectX 11 Upgrade
We have upgraded the ESO graphics engine to be DirectX 11 specific.
You will no longer be able to launch or run the DirectX 9 version of the game.
We will no longer support graphics cards and operating systems that are not compatible with DirectX 11.
This will allow us to implement new graphics features only possible with the removal of DirectX 9, as well as improve the overall performance of the engine.
What is meant here? Specifically "graphics cards and operating systems that are not compatible with DirectX 11"
I don't know the internals, but as far as I understand it, my graphics card (ATI radeon HD 4800) is 'compatible' with directx 11 through software emulation but implements the directx 10.1 interface in hardware. Am I right? What is meant by "compatible" here and is it the same compatibility meant in the patch notes?0 -
NerfPlease✭✭✭Radeon HD 5000 series started support fully DX11
so probably you cant play with 48000 -
