Some Call of Duty fanatics often encounter DirectX error when launching COD. At the same time, the game does not start and displays the message “DіrесtХ encountered an unrecoverable error”. This kind of trouble happens not only when turning on COD, but also when launching other gaming applications. The article below provides ways to resolve this error.
1. Check system requirements
Most of the latest games require DirectX software versions 11 or 12. If you have other versions installed, it will be problematic to run newer games.
To check the DirectX version for the game, do the following:
- Open the game's page on Steam. Find DirectX requirements.
- Press the key combination Win + R. In the dialog box that opens, enter “dxdiag”. Click OK.
- A window will appear with information about whether your hardware meets the requirements of the game, as well as the installed version of DirectX.
We would like to warn you that DX 12 is only available for Windows 10, and DX 11 is for OSes starting from Windows 7. When updating the OS to the latest version, the directory is installed automatically on all systems.
2. Reinstall the video card driver
- Open the device manager (Win+R), enter devmgmt.msc in the text field.
- We find the video adapter.
- We write down the manufacturer and model of the video card.
- We go to the manufacturer’s website, look for the Drivers and support option.
- You will see two options for installing the software:
- manual;
- auto;
- Select manual installation and fill in the fields:
- product type (we need a graphics adapter driver);
- graphics adapter type;
- series of your video card;
- Windows version.
- Click Display Results.
- In the window that appears, click the “supported products” tab and look for your model.
- Go to the “Features” section and download the largest file. We remember the location of the downloaded installation file. (Other manufacturers' product downloads may vary.)
- In the device manager, right-click on the video adapter, from the drop-down list select “Properties” -> “Driver” tab -> “Remove device”. We confirm.
- We find the installer for the downloaded software for the video card and launch it, following the instructions of the installation wizard. When finished, reboot the PC.
3. Display scaling setting
In Windows 10, right-click on an empty area of the desktop, and from the drop-down list, select Display options->Custom scaling". Enter your own DPI scale value.
- The current DPI scale value should be 100 units. Set the parameter, apply the action.
- Then click Sign Out. (In Windows 8, drag the DPI scaling bar slider all the way to the left.)
4. Edit the registry
Correcting registry entries may help resolve the error.
