What are DX12 Errors?
The DX12 Errors come with their own numbers like 0x80070057 and 0x887a00004. Both of them have their own significance. The first one is caused by the Windows Update and the second one is caused by GPU supporting the DX12 or having older updates.
When you get errors inside the game then they are because of the Graphics Card. Steam Deck also has that same issue which is because of the Proton Compatibility options. Below, we got a fix for all of them.

DX12 Error 0x80070057
Just like we mentioned before, the DX12 Error Code 0x80070057 is caused by Windows Updates. Ravenswatch supports only the 1909 version of Windows or above that.
Going a bit ahead, you will be needing the KB4598298 Update on Windows 10 minimum. You will just have to Update your Windows 10 or 11 to its latest.
DX12 Error 0x887a0004
In order to fix the DX12 Error Code 0x887a0004 in Ravenswatch, you will have to update the Graphics Drivers. Another thing you have to check is whether you are using the Hybrid Configurations on your GPu or not.

- Go to Device Manager
- Then from the drop-down select Display Adapters

In-Game DX12 Errors
In case you are having the same issue while inside the game, then you should try lowering the quality settings of the game. Go to Settings inside the game, click on Graphics, and change them to lower settings than you had before.
