Good day!
When launching some popular games (PUBG, Fortnite, etc.), you may encounter one rather "unpleasant" error: "DX11 feature ..." (👇). I brought it on the screen below ...
In general, in most cases it means that you do not have one of the required DirectX libraries installed - that is, the system does not know how to "work" with this game (moreover, in a number of other games where this library is not used, everything can run normally ).
Below in the note I will show you how to update the required libraries, and what to do if it does not help. 👌
So...
Example of an error when starting the game // DX11 feature level 10.0 is required to run the engine

What can be done to eliminate "DX11 ..."
👉 STEP 1
It is trite, but the first thing I would advise is reload computer / laptop.
It is possible that the problem arose due to some errors and bugs in the operation of the OS (for example, it may be that the necessary libraries have already been installed / updated, but you have not rebooted the PC yet ...).
Reboot (Windows 10)
Note: by the way, remember, when you installed the game - were you offered to add any components to the system that you abandoned? ..
If they were (or you don't remember) - try reinstall the game (and, of course, install whatever the installer recommends ...).
*
👉 STEP 2
Next, try to go to the Microsoft website, download the DirectX installer and try to update the libraries with it (I give a direct link to it so you don't have to search).
Important: after updating DirectX - restart your computer!
Just in case, I will also leave a link to my last note, where I gave a couple more ways to update DirectX. 👇

👉 STEP 3
After I recommend checking and update driver on a video card (many underestimate, but this is important!).
Special this applies to Windows 10 users. During installation, the "Ten" does one "tricky" thing: on the one hand, it seems to "install" the driver; on the other hand, it often does it "crookedly" (and drivers often come without a control center).
*
In general, for a start, I would advise you to define model your video card, go to its official website and download the necessary driver from there!For laptops: be sure to download the video driver from the laptop manufacturer's website (i.e., for example, a laptop from Dell, a video card on it NVidia - you should download the driver from the Dell website for a specific brand of device!)
How to do it correctly and step by step, I told in one of my past notes (👇).

👉 STEP 4
Check for important Windows updates. With a ten in this regard, it is easier, tk. to perform this operation - just open its parameters (see the link below 👇).

By the way, you can usually find out what version of Windows OS your game needs on its official website. Pay also attention to a number of other important parameters: does the PC / laptop correspond to them? .. (especially about the video card: is it included in the list of supported ones?)
Recommended system requirements
By the way, to find out the supported DirectX versions of your system - click Win + R, in the window that appears "Run" enter command dxdiag and press Enter.
This will open the DirectX Diagnostic Tool (👇) - see the tab "Screen" .

👉 STEP 5
If all of the above did not work, I would finally advise you to use the 👉 Driver Booster utility.
In general, it is designed to update drivers, but along the way it checks all the missing game libraries (NET Framework, Visual C ++, etc.) that may be needed.
Of course, the first step is to update all these libraries, which she will mark as "Game support" (fortunately, it all works in auto mode). 👌
Update everything - game components, sound and game devices, etc. / Driver Booster
Note: if you will be using the free version of Driver Booster - after the update, go to the task manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) and remove it from startup (you are unlikely to need it every time you turn on the PC ...).

Other solutions to the issue are, of course, welcome!
Good luck!
