When I open up a converted project in UE 5.1 it get this error
Missing support for advanced rendering
“This project attempted to launch with Directx 12 with SM6 shader format but is not supported by your system…”
I have an Nvidia A5000, windows 10 and the Latest drivers. I have tried to reinstall everything twice. Clean installed drivers used DDU. safe mode.
5.0.3 did not have this issue. And the same project in my laptop with RTX 3060 works.
Any suggestions?
Hi , HannesZietsman
Iam facing the same issue on 5.1 , I have installed the lateset driver for 2080Ti ,
5.03 on same machine is not giving any error
I think you need to upgrade to latest release of Windows 10 or 11.
Am i not on the latest? When I hit windows update it shows I’m up to date.
No you are on build 1809 of Win 10 which is old. The latest build is 22H2 - This contains updated DX12 components that may be needed. Windows update should show an optional update to this. You can also visit the MS website to update from there. Good luck
I have the same issue. I am using Server 2019. In early 5.0 builds, this was not an issue. Now, I am getting this message too. My system is upto date according to windows update.
When I run DxDiag.exe it clearly shows that I have DirectX 12 Installed.
Unreal Engine Demo Valley of the Ancient 5.0EA runs perfectly.
UE5 refuses to run Valley of the Ancient in 5.1 due to this error. Clearly, 5.1 is not correctly reporting my DirectX 12 status and now I can’t really use anything in 5.x other than early release without this bug.
checking windows update only displays that all is up to date. If there is a download that will fix this… I am interested.
This big is preventing me from taking my build from 4.27 to 5.x.
It’s not really a surprise that an older server version of Windows doesn’t support the latest DX12 features. Your only choices are to update to Windows 10 or preferably 11 for Unreal 5.1+ use I think.
I am certainly not going to go to Windows 10 from a much better Server Environment, when this worked literally just a few months ago. Obviously, some software engineer, tweaked the code unnecessarily constraining the build to some very specific Win 10 code. As I mentioned, dxdiag confirms that I have DirectX 12 installed… and prior examples of Valley of the Ancient STILL work which means someone has required a specific “version” of windows and not the “feature”.
Did you find a solution to this? I’m having the same problem. Thanks.
Same problem with 5.1.1, in version 5.0.0 EA2 no such error.
Win 10, directx last version, 3070 last drivers
Any updates on this? Just started to happen to me - for no apparent reason.
yes. I solved it by updated windows to 22H2. it was not easy for me as my system has Windows 10 Enterprise but after doing this everything worked.
Could you mark my post as the answer please. Glad you got things working.
I don’t see the option to mark it as an answer.
No problem. Good luck !
Hi, there was the same problem, I updated windows to version 22H2, after the error passed, I hope this helps you too
