How To Fix DirectX 12 (DX12) Errors in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on PC

1. Type “dxdiag” into the Search bar from Start.
2. Click on “dxdiag”.
3. Head to the System Information section to check which version of DirectX is installed.

Unfortunately, if you're using an older version of Windows, you might be out of luck. It's worth checking for any available updates, but if none are available, consider requesting a refund or exploring other games.
