Run DX12 Beta client
Players who meet the minimum requirements for the DX12 Beta Client will now have the option in-game to switch DX12 on and off.
Game must be restarted to activate/deactivate DX12.

You know u are running the DX12 version if you check the Task Manager \ Processes and see Ring of Elysium (DirectX12)
Manually run DX12 Beta Client
Requirements are not met, but u still wanna try out the DX12 Beta Client?
No problem, but note that you do this on your own risk!

Copy every file and folder from the following directory C:\***\steamapps\common\Ring of Elysium\Xversion to the games main directory C:\***\steamapps\common\Ring of Elysium\ and overwrite everything.

This action can not be reverted back easily, hence u have to reinstall the game.

You know u are running the DX12 version if you check the Task Manager \ Processes and see Ring of Elysium(DirectX 12)

You may have to do the copy after every update!
Client crashes
Anybody experiencing game crashes with the DX12 Beta Client, try running all other applications (i.e. discord) on your second monitor minimized.
Having other programs open/alt tabbing to them on your second monitor are causing crashes.
The Dev's have been notified and hopefully the issue will be resolved quickly.
Locked FPS in Fullscreen Mode
If you experience FPS lock when using Fullscreen mode, simply just change it to Bordesless and back to Fullscreen.
My Experience so far
I got a GTX 980 TI, so i had to manually enable DX12 Beta Client.
  • So far i did not have any client crashes.
  • FPS improvement on the Lobby Screen, 200 fps -> 240 fps (limit of my monitor)
  • FPS improvement on the Spawn Select Screen, 100 fps -> 200 fps
  • Only noticed minor in-game FPS improvements
  • Frametimes are jumping up and down more than before

My Setup: Asus Strix Z270H / Intel® Core™ i7-7700K / EVGA Hybrid GTX 980Ti / Samsung 960 Evo 250GB M.2 / Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8GB 3000Mhz / Fractal Design Integra M 750W Bronze / Fractal Design Celsius S36 3x120mm / Phanteks Enthoo Luxe / Windows 10 x64
Disclaimer
You may not notice any significant changes when running the DX12 Beta Client, this is because the improvements are not yet in the game, they will be gradually applied later on.

Has anyone tested this with a GTX 580? My room mate has one and when he tries to spawn, it just crashes. Tried this about a month ago.
