[MCPE-166351] Directx 12 still doesn't work on Intel drivers

Well apparently, in 1.19.50, the changelogs stated that they added D3D12 support on Intel devices, however when I checked if that's the case, it was still running on DX 11 on my DX 12 supported device.

Same with me and other people have been reporting this bug.

This is now affecting people's ability to use the Deferred Technical Preview as Minecraft isn't using the D3D12 available in their Intel GPUs

It affects beta/preview 1.20.30.20

For anyone reading this, you can use better renderdragon to launch minecraft with DX12 on intel graphics card

@TheEpikBoi How can BetterRenderDragon be used to launch MC with DX12 on Intel GPUs? Whenever I try BRD 1.3.4 on MC Preview 1.20.30.20, MC Preview opens and BRD injects but then MC Preview is stuck on the loading screen and frozen with BRD unresponsive. How do you do it?

TheEpikBoi 2023-08-06T12:52:14Z

@Super_Lamba Maybe try reinstalling Minecraft Preview and better renderdragon, otherwise just look for the issue on GitHub

SuperLlama88888 2023-08-07T02:26:43Z

@TheEpikBoi TYSM, I can't seem to do it but hopefully this can be fixed in the next preview... I'm crossing my fingers!

I have the same issue with my GTX 745 which supports Direct x 12(FL 11.0) and I have used to run other Direct x 12 games like FNAF SB and Stray but Minecraft just runs in Direct x 11

SuperLlama88888 2023-08-09T21:14:13Z

@TheEpikBoi Managed to get it to work, TYSM! Sad this hasn't been fixed in this week's preview though...

Actual for Deferred Rendering in the latest 1.20.30 Previews.

You won't get access to the new graphics features if your game doesn't see DX12 (even if it's supported).

Resolving temporarily as Awaiting Response. Could you please run dxdiag (Win+R → dxdiag), copy the relevant information from there and add it to your ticket? Be sure to remove any personal information, just the PC specs would be useful.
This ticket will reopen automatically when you reply.

I’ve attached a file instead of adding it to the ticket, I hope that works too

EveryCabbage884 2023-08-22T10:30:07Z

@unknown That works, thank you! Could you also add a screenshot of the "Display" tab?

TheEpikBoi 2023-08-22T10:52:05Z

Attached the screenshot. Tell me if you need something else while I’m at it.

mrjasonn 2023-09-19T14:42:03Z

Thank you for your report!
However, this issue has been closed as Working as Intended.

Note from the development team:

Minecraft requires intel igpu drivers version "31.0.101.3430" and above for DX12 support. Any driver version lower than that may result in instability when used with Minecraft so we intentionally fallback to DX11 which doesn't suffer from the same issues
