High On Life Dx12 Start Up Error: Is there any fix yet?
First things first, the developers have not acknowledged this issue and neither has there been a formal patch for this problem. However, we managed to find a workaround that might get rid of this issue for good. This fix involves launching the game using DirectX 11, instead of 12. If you don’t know how to do this, don’t worry. Follow these steps and you will be playing High on Life, in no time.
For starters, you need to go to the location where the game is installed. To do so, open the Steam client on your PC. Next head over to the “Library” section. Select and right-click on “High on Life” and select “Manage” from the drop-down menu, here you will see the “Browse in-game files” option. Click on it to get access to the location where the game is installed. Now select and right-click on the game’s .exe file, click “Send to” and select the Desktop option.
Now, go to the desktop, select and right-click on the shortcut of the game you just created. Select “Properties” and head over to the “Shortcut” tab. In the shortcut tab, you will see the “Target” box. Click on the box to type and add “-dx11” at the end of the line. For example, “.exe{space}-dx11”. Now, save and exit. Launch the game via this shortcut and the problem should now be solved.
