So I downloaded Subnautica 2 on my laptop but when I try to launch it, it says that directx 12 is not supported on my system. Wtf does this mean. I looked it up and it said I needed to update my drivers and have the latest windows update. Did that and it’s still not working. I have an HP pavilion laptop that is a few years old. Can someone pls tell me what I need to do to fix this. Im not exactly an expert in these things so please explain it simple caveman terms.
