Due to server slowness, downtime, and other issues, guests can no longer search the forum or view user accounts. At some point in the future Eclipse will be moving to a more stable and efficient platform that should result in much better stability and the lifting of these restrictions. There is no timeline for this yet, just want you to know what's happening with all the downtime and I have a plan to fix it.

DirectX 12 from Win10 1507 on Windows 7, 8 and 8.1

Have a method to get an application work on an older unsupported Windows version? Post it here.

Pretty self-explanatory here.

Since for some damn reason I can't upload, here's a Nextcloud link (Discord CDN was down)

I guess Discord is using temporary tokens.
Use https://upload.disroot.org instead ;)

UPDATE: it seems to be a per app basis, some like DxDiag still report DX11, but after some fuckery, some apps like Realtek HD Audio reports DX12.

Dolphin seems to acknowledge that D3D12 exists, but crashes upon launch.

Thanks Duke
By the way, for everyone reading this, I made this project: https://github.com/Roti-Poulet/DirectX12On7 , and its probably the best DirectX12 patch for Windows 7, supporting programs without D3D12On7, and even some new titles:
-Resident Evil Village (8)
-Unreal Engine 4 (I got SunTemple to work, but I don't really know about real UE4 games)

Games using CreateDXGIFactory2 are also supported!
