If you're having trouble playing the brand-spanking-new action-adventure Outriders, you may be in luck: after a high volume of reports on launch day about stuttering and crashing, developer People Can Fly says it has pushed out a configuration update on Steam that should correct those issues if you're playing with DirectX 11.
"This is specifically for anyone still encountering stuttering or stability issues," People Can Fly writes on the Outriders Steam forum. "We have just pushed a config update to Steam that will endure that DX11 now launches as intended (yesterday's launcher was not launching DX11 properly)."
When you launch Outriders from Steam, you'll initially be given a choice between running the game in DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, the latter enabling advanced graphics features such as DLSS, while the former is often more suitable for older video hardware. Evidently, the launcher wasn't selecting DX11 correctly, and players have found that the DLSS option appears to be available when they've run Outriders after selecting the DX11 option - when it shouldn't be available at all.
