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

oh yea, I got WDDM 2 working too (8.1 only) , but don't expect a release for a while as it is still super unstable.

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!

I tried to use this on 8.1, but I couldn't seem to get anything to work, even the simple cube test just crashes on my end.

That is the one I tried testing. I'm not sure what exactly was used in the screenshot, but it looks the same to me.
