Getting AvP to work in DX11 mode

[Guest2]

When I run the AvP.exe it works perfectly. However when I run AvP_DX11.exe it crashed immediately to desktop after the cutscenes.
I found this forum where someone gets it working but dont really understand what he means...

"EDIT: that didn't work but i found out how to get it working now. all i had to do is make a shortcut for the ''AVP'' it plays the game in dx10 but i found out if i chang the name directory from AVP to AVP_DX11 it will render dx11 and i don't get no more crashes and so forth.working fine now"

Is anyone else having or had this issue?

Xonar essence
Windows 7 pro 64bit

All other games work fine

No problems for me, but what i dont understand is, in steam i click run in dx11 mode and it works fine. I dont even have a dx11 card

Thats because although the game says dx11 it will use dx10/10.1 strings if you dont have the hardware for dx11 mode. Aka its backwards compatible

To the OP, do you have the febuary redist of dx11 from microsoft installed?

On the video options do you have a dx11 menu part? Inside here should be tessellation.

I got it working, it just needed patching

Cant believe how better it plays on a 5770 compared to an 8800GT. DX11, 8xAF, highest everything plays at 60fps+ most of the time
