Play WWE2K15 on A DX10 based Hardware

[eri619]

First of all,you have to download Windows Software Development Kit.

Then,go to your start menu and type “dxcpl.exe”

 

 

 

When the Direct X Properties opens, under the scope tab select “Edit List”

 

 

Add The 2K15 exe file to the list.

 

 

Now close the list box and in the bottom box of the main windows where it says “Feature Level Limit” you need to select “11_1″ (should be the highest)

Select the checkbox that says “Force WARP” (This is what forces DX10 instead)

 

   Hit apply and run your game!

 

This Worked for me in the case of Watch Dogs,haven't tested it with 2K15 yet.Someone please try it and post the results.

 

Note:-

The Frame Rate will depend on how good a DX10 hardware you have.Better the quality,Better the output frame rate you will get.

Does it even matter which you play on ?

Does it even matter which you play on ?

I'd assume it will run slower in DirectX 10, since DirectX11 calls are being rerouted/emulated, so it's probably moot unless you don't have DX11 compatible hardware which this is meant for and drivers or display problems specific to the API.

I use a dell laptop,so i can't upgrade my Graphics Card,so i have to follow this.This is for all users who don't have a directX11 hardware,why should i post it otherwise?

[Joe Mashups]

so it runs laggy on my directx 11

if i changed to 10 will it run faster ?

[eri619]

yes,there are no changes to the graphics if you change it to directx10.Also it depends on the quality of the hardware you possess,please try it and let me know the results.

[Joe Mashups]

downloading the Development Kit.

[Joe Mashups]

it lagged for me 

but that means itis working

[RayAd]

it's making the the game even more laggy 

[Cave Waverider]

Of course it is. If you can run the game without this workaround, you don't need it, as it's a wrapper that intercepts the DirectX 11 calls and converts them to DirectX 10 calls, which of course costs additional performance. In addition, DirectX 11 can handle certain calls faster than DirectX 10. This workaround is meant for those that have video cards that aren't DirectX 11 compliant and thus can't run the game at all without it.

i remember with  bf:bad company 2 if you change to a lower direct x the game becomes more faster

this here is the other way around

[eri619]

I'm happy that it worked!

I assume that game had a native DirectX 9 or 10 rendering path. In that case, it can of course be faster, since it may be more optimized and also some developers tend to add performance hitting eye candy to their higher rendering paths for whatever reason. This method is using a DirectX fallback wrapper, which naturally costs more performance, since it translates Direct3D11 calls to Direct3D10 calls wich costs processing power.

Oh I see

[Defract]

I'll test this later guys I have a gtx 285 decent card but dx 10 and post my findings

[eri619]

That would be appreciated,please let me know of the results you get.

[Defract]

Sadly no good mate

[LeonRick]

@defract

Gtx 285 is high end card how much fps u got??

Did it run properly?

[Defract]

Sadly it just crashes on boot.

[beastedot9]

Sadly it just crashes on boot.

Might be a processor issue as I have a video card on par with yours. Could also be ram.

[Defract]

I have a core 2 quad 2.8ghz and 4gb ram. Should easily meet minimum.

its enough to run this game and windows has to be x64.

[eri619]

It worked for a few guys,i think his windows is not 64 bit,that's why i believe the game crashed instantly

[Defract]

Nope I have windows 64-bit. If you have any other advise mate im happy to try.

 

Do I need windows 8? As i'm currently running 7.
