VRS Mode Disabled

VRS Mode was usable all of DF and the beginning of TWW. Now it says it’s unsupported?

Make sure you don’t have MSAA enabled - at any level. The two aren’t compatible with each other, with MSAA taking priority.

It’s also worth mentioning that VRS is currently broken and will reduce performance when enabled, in addition to creating rendering issues. It’s noted in the Known Issues sticky.

I have no anti aliasing enabled

Other requirements include running in DirectX 12 mode with a FL 12_2 (DirectX 12 Ultimate) compatible graphics card and appropriately recent Windows version. This is any NVidia GeForce RTX (as opposed to GT/GTX), AMD Radeon RX 6000-series or newer, or any Intel Arc on the hardware side, and Windows 10 running at least the 21H1 update or Windows 11, with a similarly recent display driver. Basically the same requirements for enabling Ray Traced Shadows, only with a slightly newer OS version (RT only required 20H2).

I have heard that it requires the more recent 22H2 update (likely for both OSs) but cannot find any technical reason for that.

Disabling the Optional GPU Features option likely removes the ability to enable it, similar to how it removes the ability to enable RT.

As a “scorched earth” option, you could rename your Config.wtf (eg to Config.old) and reset your game configuration to see if it allows you to enable it. I have heard of this being necessary for some users - perhaps a deprecated setting getting in the way. This will naturally reset many of your game options, so if it doesn’t help you might want to restore the old file afterwards.

Again, though, I feel it important to emphasise that it’s currently a bad idea to enable the feature. It both runs and looks worse than not using it.

I was having the same issue. The way I fixed it was by disabling the Optional GPU Features and then re-enabling it. After I did that, it allowed me to turn VRS back on without the red text saying “Unsupported for graphic related reasons”. Hope this helps! :slight_smile:

Thanks for the replies. This was actually the first thing I did but nothing changed. Like I said Blizz has a recent post stating there is some stuff going on with vrs mode. So I’ll just wait it out. But thanks Aster dude I really appreciate the help.

I did noticed this too Ezza but after a while it turns back off on it’s own. Still thank you.
