Overview
Hi!I, like many of my fellow Nioh 2 lovers have been waiting for Nioh 2 to release on PC. Nioh 2 isnt officially compatible with Win 7, because it requires Directx12. There’s a buttload of people still using Win 7 for various legitimate reasons however. Initially I couldnt get the the game to run. But I figured out how to make it run anyway with very little effort. Takes like 20 minutes max.1.) Install all essential AND optional Windows 7 updates1a.) Hit Windows Key, type “Windows Update” and install all updates2.) Get the latest available DirectX11 for Windows 72a.) https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=368052b.) Restart your computer3.) Run Nioh 2 as administrator3a.) Steam Library -> Nioh 2 -> Properties -> Browse Local Files3b.) Nioh 2 Properties -> Compatiblity -> Check Run as Administrator4.) Trick Nioh 2 into running on Directx114a.) Go to X:WindowsSystem324b.) Find xinput1_3.dll4c.) Copy and paste said xinput1_3.dll4d.) Rename the copy to “xinput1_4.dll5.) Play Nioh 2 on Windows 7
