I think its because i have DX12, but why the F wouldnt the game start.

perhaps game is trying to load your old graphics settings onto your new computer.

Ive got new SSD, complete new windows isntall. I dont know whats going on with it.
Well new as if 8 months old.

you have an nvidia card. run geforce experience then optimize the game with that then launch the game. hopefully that will force the new graphics settings.

three times this year ... so far .... I have had to wipe the graphics card driver then clean install it. perhaps try that if geforce experience did not fix things.

game is running on my 3060ti with the 556.`12 driver

Okey, thanks for the tip. Anyway got to ask one question, if i have DX12 installed. I want to run the game on DX11, does that mean i need to install DX11? Because i feel like it should be compatable right?

when you ran dxdiag then looked at the second page (display)
the feature levels has what versions of dx you have

a new install of win 11 has dx12. it does NOT install all previous versions. steam/the game installer "is supposed to" come with all libraries needed

in folder Documents\Shadow of the Tomb Raider
is a log file. in mine I see

You mean the 12_1. 12_0, 11_1, 11_0, 10_1, 10_0.9?

I dont know where i am supposed to check?

after the above looks like mine does an nvidia 3d vision check:

do you have the latest 556.12 driver?

maybe run the game launcher then options. if dx12 is unchecked, check it.
if it is checked, uncheck it and try dx11.

might also be how your monitor is connected. does not seem the game is recognizing it to determine resolutions.

I want to play the game on DX11. The launcher didnt start for me. :/ I will reinstall and try again. Ive got 556.12.

we have the same game files and graphics driver. the game works with both dx11 and dx12 on my 3060ti with win 11.

dx11 does not work on yours with win 10. dx12 unknown.

only other thing I can suggest .... three times this year (so far) I have had to wipe the graphics driver with Display Driver Uninstaller then clean install the latest driver. maybe your driver has a problem.
