Extremely Frustrated with DX12

[Mrcarlosspicey 0]

Hello, long time SC4 player here. I just purchased a new laptop running Windows 11 with an Nvidia 3070 TI laptop card. I have followed all wrapper post instructions, installed 4 GB patch, SC4fix.dll, ect. to no avail. I currently have the late dgvoodoo2 update and SC4 launcher and I can get only one combination to work, that being using DX11 with the intel GPU selected. If I use DX12, fireworks, road construction, etc does not render except while zooming in or out. If I change my GPU to the Nvidia driver, I get the draw.dll error and it defaults to software. If I run it in software, all the graphics stretch when moving around a map. I'm not sure what else to do. Any help would be appreciated.

Issues with DX12 and legacy DX support are known about, there was supposed to be an update from MS that fixed this, so check you've updated the OS first.

However a lot of things are changing at once, key is that MS are providing legacy compatibility (much like Wrappers work), so this is no longer handled by drivers from NVidia or ATI etc. The problem is, SC4's specific implementation of DirectX 7, tends to create problems in terms of compatibility layers. For example, it could be that DX Wrappers need updating to support the newer implementation by MS, or even specific code necessary for SC4 to work under this is required.

For now your only option may be to run the game with the Intel iGPU under DirectX 11.
