HP Laptop 15-da0088nr

When playing Civilization VI, system shuts down with the following error message:  "Sid Meiers Civilization VI (DX12)  display device has failed.  Please ensure your display drivers are up to date.  Exiting" .  Is my laptop unable to run this program or is there a fix available?

Hello @jgoodrich37 

 

That is a question you really need to ask the games community about.

Perhaps the Steam forums could help better.   https://steamcommunity.com/app/289070/discussions/

I see that the error was prominent with users who had much higher graphics specs also.

Make sure the games settings are at their lowest and turn off AA.

 

Sorry I cannot help more.

Thank you for the feedback.  What is "AA" and how do I turn it off?

Anti Aliasing and its a feature in each games individual video settings.

How you access a games settings is different for each game.

You will need to look up your games instructions on how to access it.
