Relive the first few hours of the PS4 classic, rebuilt with PS1 aesthetics! · By
The game won't start on my Windows machine, demanding dx11 feature level 10.0 even though according to this, my GPU supports 10.1 :

I have the newest drivers and DX installed of course. What gives?
The game runs pretty well on my laptop, I'm currently using Intel HD Graphics 520, which I know not much about, but it at least runs! The problem your facing is probably based on your drivers, you can try updating them.
Press Windows Key + R and enter "dxdiag" to see which version of DirectX you're using. Head over to the "Display" tab and look to your right under where it says "Drivers", from there you can scroll until you see "Feature levels" and see which levels you have, there you must create a final conclusion.
The laptop in question has a dedicated graphics card, not an integrated graphics card. The laptop with the integrated graphics card is a different laptop entirely. The game runs on that laptop, on Linux, but the performance is unplayably awful (The old school graphics should in principle be totally manageable, but I suppose the game isn't optimized with older hardware in mind). That is why I am trying to run it on my other laptop, on Windows, with a dedicated GPU. That is where the error occurs. I've already reinstalled Nvidia drivers and DirectX runtimes several times. I am 100% sure I've installed the right ones. It simply doesn't help. There is no obvious reason for this to be happening. My GPU supports exactly the feature level required. dxdiag says so.
