Psychonauts 2
From PCGamingWiki, the wiki about fixing PC games
Revision as of 21:39, 28 August 2021 by Anonymous (talk | contribs) (Game supports D3D11 as it runs on Windows 7 and would require d3d12on7 listed in the requirements to use D3D12, which ATM there is no confirmation either way if the game's UE4 build includes it. So playing it safe and relying on the system requirements.)
