Ashes_DX12.exe starts ashes in dx11

from Stardock Forums

i do own the steam version of the game.

if i browse the game folder manualy and start the dx12 exe, the benchmark will show the game running in dx11, and the runlog.txt will also show "executable path: ..\ashes_dx11

i was able to start dx12 only by renaming the dx11.exe to something random, and then  renaming dx12 to dx11. the game now shows dx12 in the benchmark screen, runlog.txt of course still shows the same path.

The only supported way to run DX12 is to launch via Steam.

ahh thank you! bit cryptic at first... but i have to start it from the steam library to get the option. interesting.

well, anyhow. renaming the exes makes a short cut work, too XD
