Jagged Alliance 3 Failed to Load Graphics Subsystem Issue: Is there any fix yet
Unfortunately, there are no definite fixes made available for this issue from the developer’s end for now. But we were able to compile some fixes from several generous players in the fan community of Jagged Alliance 3. The workarounds stated by them have worked for a handful of fellow gamers. They might work for you as well. So let us get into the fixes without any further delay.
Check if your GPU supports DX12
As stated by the developers, Jagged Alliance 3 will work only on GPUs that support DirectX 12. DirectX 12 is a vital component in running a lot of games that are released in the modern era. You can check if your GPU supports the same by accessing the Nvidia Control Panel or AMD Radeon Settings. Upon entering the software, you will have to find an option that says “System Information”. From there, you can check whether your GPU supports DirectX 12 or not. If not, you will have to switch to a GPU that fully supports DirectX 12.
Update your Graphics Driver
This is one of the most common solutions to such problems. Outdated Graphics Drivers will result in a ton of issues when players try to play the latest game. Thus, check if your GPU drivers are updated or not. If not, you can head over to the “Device Manager” of your system and proceed to the “Display Adapters” section. Or, you can use the GPU’s support software (Nvidia GeForce Experience/AMD Adrenaline) to download and install the latest drivers. If updating does not work, you can reinstall your graphics drivers from the Device Manager as well. Just head to the Display Adapter option on the Device Manager window, right-click on your dedicated GPU, and select Uninstall. After this, restart your PC. Now, you can download the latest drivers from your GPU’s manufacturer’s website and install them.
Verify Game Files
This issue might also arise if there are corrupted or missing game files. Thus, it is always a good idea to verify their integrity when running into such issues. You can start by entering your client software (Steam). Visit the Library and navigate to Jagged Alliance 3. Now, right-click on it, select Properties, and click on the Local Files tab. After this, locate the “Verify Game files” option and click on it. This will scan your game files and fix any issues present within.
Wait for a patch
Since many players are facing this problem, this might lead the developers to release a patch fix for the game to be able to run on GPUs that don’t support the latest DX12 version. However, this is just speculation, so take it with a pinch of salt.
These are some of the potential workarounds for fixing the Failed to Load Graphics Subsystem issue in Jagged Alliance 3. We hope the content was of use to you. Likewise, for more reads like this, make sure to follow DigiStatement.
