GPU driver not detected

Tele Toast shared this bug 3 years ago
Won't Fix

Whenever I try to launch Space Engineers it freezes on the splash screen, and then the error message "the current version of the game requires a Dx11 card" appears. It started whenever I updated my graphic's drivers

Things I have tried:

- updating driver

- reinstalling driver

- making sure the config uses dx11

- switched to dx9 build (launched successfully) and returned to main build (crashed)

- deleted all appdata, and reinstalled SE

- switching to 720p, then back to 1080p

Also, I don't have any integrated gpu's, and my HDMI cord is plugged in directly to my GPU


PS: There are two files of each type, one is "pre-crashes" and the other is "post-crashes"

Hello, Tele Toast,

thanks for letting us know about your issue and we´re sorry that you are experiencing it.

This issue suggest that you have you .cfg file stuck for some reason on DX9 version. Can you please check your Roaming/SE folder once more and check the SpaceEngineers.cfg file and look for the DX version there? Some players have this file missing completely.

So first of all, please let me know whether you have the file in the folder, and if yes what DX version is set there.

Also please let me know if you are using by any chance two monitors. Some players have also this issue originating from this, unfortunately. So if yes, try to unplug the second monitor completely and try to run the game.

Are you able to roll back to previous graphics driver? When you write that the game was working fine on the previous driver, might be good idea to try it, as you don´t need to be all the time on the most recent driver.

Try also delete manually SharedCache2 folder from appdata.

If nothing above would work, I suggest to - while you wrote you did it - completely uninstall the game and delete all remaining files in appdata (as done before) and from the Steam folder as well. Install the game again, restart PC and try to run the game.

Thanks in advance for any more info you can share.

Kind Regards

I have tried everything here, although I couldn't find SharedCache2, I'm assuming it's in the cache folder? and have downgraded my drivers (21.10.3 > 21.6.1) and nothing has changed.

Deleting all data from the steam folder and appdata has had no effects.

I tried editing my config file, things such as window mode, display adapter, and yes, it is in DX 11, none of these changes has had an effect.


I have noticed that the pre-crashes folder I posted may be from when I tried going back to DX 9 and to DX 11 again, unfortunately all logs of it working in the latest build are gone. However I noticed that the WMI section, and other miscellaneous parts are gone in logs where it doesn't work, maybe this could be a clue?

Looking even further into SpaceEngineer's folder I have also found that I have a "D3DX9_43" DLL file, however there is no D3D11 type of DLL.

Hello, Engineer!

Because there is no new comment from you, and we are unable to reproduce the issue on our own, I will close this thread now as outdated.

Thank you for understanding.
