I recently bought re2r on Steam. It said that my device specs matched up, but here they are for your view:
The laptop is an OMEN Gaming Laptop 16-ae0xxx
Edition Windows 11, version 25H2
It has a 64-bit operating system and a x64-based processor
Storage: 954 GB
Graphics Card: 10 GB
Installed Ram: 32 GB
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-14650HX
For my display adaptors, I can use both the Intel(R) UHD Graphics and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU.
For reference, when I go into my Omen Gaming Hub, it lists the re2r recommended specs as:
Intel Core i7-3770 AMD FX-9590 CPU
Video RAM 3GB
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 AMD Radeon RX 480 3D Video Card
For minimum:
Windows 10 64-bit OS
Hard Drive Space 26 GB
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 AMD Radeon RX 460 3D Video Card
DirectX12
RAM 8GB
Intel Core i5-4460 AMD FX-6300 CPU
Video Resolution 1920 x 1080
All of the reddit posts I've looked at say the best fix is manually editing config.ini files, except I don't have those. Mine are just called "re2_config" and "re2_config_default"
I don't know how useful these are, but this is what they say:
On the non-default one,
[Render]
PCTargetAPIFallback=Enable
Capability=DirectX12
TargetPlatform=DirectX11
UseVendorExtention=Enable
UseOptimizeShader=Enable
LastCrashReport=0x00000000
On the default-one,
[RenderConfig]
PCDXver=DirectX11
PCColorSpace=0
PCWindowMode=1
PCFrame_Rate=2
PCVSync=0
PCRenderingMethod=1
PCImage_Quality=0
PCTextureQuality=0
PCSamplerQuality=0
PCMeshQuality=0
PCAntiAliasing=0
PCMotionBlurEnable=1
PCShadowQuality=0
PCShadowCacheEnable=1
PCAOSetting=0
PCBloomEnable=1
PCLensFlareEnable-1
PCVolumeLight=0
PCReflection=1
PCSSSS=1
PCDOF=1
PCLensDistortion=2
PCFilmGrainNoise=1
PCContactShadow=1
PCParticleLight=1
[Display]
HDRmode=1
I have tried using the public files of re2r as well as the non-rt version, and both did not work. I also manually changed the DirecTX12 to x11, and in Steam I tried force-launching through -dx11, -dx12, and -windowed. None of those worked.
My laptop and Steam are fully updated, my drivers are fully updated, I've continuously tried verifying the game files through Steam. I've uninstalled the game twice.
I have re4r and re6 and those work completely fine, so I'm not sure what's so different about re2r.
Basically, I can't even get to the main menu. I click the icon, and the message that pops up is:
Re2.exe - Fatal Application Exit
"d:\\relauncher\\engines\\0\\giroot\\runtime\\modules\\render\\os\\renderdevicedx12.cpp" 311 Fatal D3D error (0)
I've typed this exact pop-up into Google and done what other reddit users and YouTube videos have said, and none of them work.
Another pop-up I received somewhere in my messing around [as of my most current settings, I've reset everything to default so that any replies I get here will be worked into clean settings] had the same link but ended with 5659 D3D11 create Swapchain failed.
I have checked my GPU memory, and it is 0. I'm not sure if that's something I should be worried about, as I had manually switched the re2r graphics in the NVIDIA control panel so that it would take the GeForce driver and not the Intel.
For app reference, I can only use the Omen Gaming Hub or the NVIDIA Panel.
Please help. I bought the game and so only have a limited time to refund it. I am not a computer nerd and have no idea what, like, any of this stuff means.
