High On Life DirectX 12 Error, How to Fix?
According to multiple reports, several players are experiencing the “DX12 Startup Error” on the PC while launching High Of Life which becomes irritating. It seems that whenever players launch the High On Life game, it starts crashing and the DX12 error appears on the PC. Due to this particular error, the game prevents players to get into it. Luckily, there are a couple of workarounds to fix this error.
1. Run the Game as an Administrator
Make sure to run the game app file on your PC as administrator access to allow the User Account Control (UAC) access to the system. In some cases, your system requires the UAC access permission to run a program which is quite important. By following the steps below you’ll have to allow the admin access for once and it won’t ask you for the same again. To do so:
- Go to the installed High On Life game directory.
- Right-click on the application file on your PC.
- Click on Properties > Click on the Compatibility tab.
