What version of directX does AoS require? I don't have problems with any other games.

I have tried the config file at:
- Defaults
- 1024x768
- 3240x1920 (native resolution)

None of the above work. I do have a modern/dedicated GPU, so it's not a shitty integrated GPU issue.

Make sure your screen supports the resolution you set in config.txt

When I launch AoS, I get this error in a dialogue window and the game closes.

Is there anything I can do? The game used to work on my computer and the latest update seem to have broken it.
