Shogun 2 Total War DirectX 11 not available

[The9KGamer]

For some reason DirectX11 in the options is greyed out, I installed it through steam and use NVidia Geforce Experience for my driver (fully updated) and I'm pretty sure my directx is updated as well since I have no problems with other games, any way to check? Any ideas?

Which GPU do you have? If it's a card older than the 400 series, then it doesn't support DirectX 11. You also need at least Windows Vista SP2 for DirectX 11 support.

Finally, Shogun II didn't launch with DirectX 11 support, and only got it added later in a patch, you may want to check your Steam options to make sure the game is being kept up to date and you have all the patches for the game.

Oh wow I managed to put everything in my computer specs but my gpu lol, it's a gtx 770 so I'm pretty sure it's got DirextX 11. My OS is Windows 8.1.

Also Shogun 2 has always and is still set to update whenever an update comes out, I've seen it a couple times for sure updating on steam.

You might want to verify the integrity of your game cache and check your game menus to make sure it is using the GTX 770 is the primary display device, and not something else, eg. integrated graphics, an older GPU that might have once been in that system.

Nope it says GTX 770 and the game should be fine, it was like this before and I just reinstalled it recently to my ssd but still no luck.
