Fortnite has long been one of the most accessible games on the planet, at least in terms of where you can play it.
It's on PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, Android, iPhone, Your mum's fancy fridge, and you can even play a version of it inside the Alexa edition of Skyrim (Some of these aren't true).
One of the reasons for the game's monumental success is the fact that so many people have access to it if they decide they want to drop into a match.
It's ubiquitous at this point, of course, the fact that it's actually an incredibly fun game helps, but the price tag is also the low, low price of no money. You only need to exchange your soul to play it, and who uses their soul these days anyway?
Well, that accessibility is taking a rather large hit, at least if you play on PC.
In a post from the 21st of June, Epic announced that the PC version of Fortnite will no longer support older graphics cards from the start of Season 10.

Which is fair enough, you have to move forward at some point.
How can you tell if your system can support DirectX 11?
Well, if you open your start menu and then type 'dxdiag', you'll bring up a special program called the DirectX Diagnostic Tool.
This tool will bring up a lot of information, but the bit that you are looking for is at the bottom of the System tab, which should be the first one that opens.
There, you should be able to see which version of DirectX you are running, and as long as it is DirectX 11 or higher, then you can still board the Battle Bus.
Didn't expect to come here and get a helping hand did you? Look, we're good to you, never forget it.
But wait, what if it turns out thRead More – Source
