- Follow the prompts and restart your PC once the installation is complete.
4. Force the Game to Run in DirectX 11 Mode

- Open Steam or Epic Games Launcher.
- Right-click on Marvel Rivals and select Properties.
- Under the Launch Options field, type:
- Close the window and launch the game.
This command will force the game to run using DirectX 11 instead of DirectX 12.

7. Upgrade Your GPU (if needed)
If none of the solutions work and your GPU does not support DirectX 12, you may need to upgrade your hardware. Look for GPUs that support DirectX 12, such as:
- NVIDIA GTX 10-Series or newer
- AMD RX 400-Series or newer
- Intel Arc and newer integrated GPUs
Conclusion
The DX12 Not Supported error in Marvel Rivals can be frustrating, but in most cases, updating your GPU drivers, forcing the game to run in DirectX 11 mode, or ensuring your system has the latest DirectX version will resolve the issue. Upgrading your hardware may be the best solution if your GPU is outdated and doesn’t support DirectX 12.
