Simple script/executable and/or guide to launch the game with DirectX11 instead of DirectX12 to boost performance.

Although this can be done manually through Steam I decided to develop a simple script and an exe to automate this and make it easier for end-users.

I'd greatly appreciate it if you download and endorse the mod even if you don't plan to use the script. 


Using DirectX11 helped tremendously on my machine. 

My specs

GPU 1060 3gb
CPU Ryzen 3600
RAM 32gb 3200mhz

Gained up to 39 more frames on High settings! 


THE FINALS_DX11.bat

Very simple one-liner to launch the game with DirectX11. You can place it wherever you want and double-click it to launch the game with DirectX11 instead of DirectX12. 

THE FINALS_DX11.exe

The same as THE FINALS_DX11.bat but converted into an executable using Window's built-in IExpress Wizard. It is essentially just a wrapper that extracts, runs and then deletes the bat file. Having it in executable form makes it possible to add the exe into your Steam library along with the original exe.

Be aware that it is going to throw false positives in Virus total and probably whatever anti-virus you're using but it is completely safe. This is unfortunately expected with every un-signed and not popular executable.




Warning pop-up

If the game doesn't start automatically there's a chance you're getting this warning pop-up:



Just click on Continue to launch the game. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like Steam offers a way to skip/disable it.


Setting launch options manually

1. Open Steam and go to your Steam library.

2. Find The Finals in your library and right-click it to open up this menu:




3. Click on properties and in the "General" tab put "-dx11" in the "Launch Options" box:


Now the game is going to launch with DirectX11 when you launch it through steam. If you want to launch the game with DirectX12 just remove the line "-dx11" from the "Launch Options" box.
