Verify File Integrity

2. Right-click Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach and select Properties…
3. Click LOCAL FILES and select Verify integrity of game files…
4. Wait a few minutes for Steam to scan and repair game files

Once this is done, you should launch the game again to see if it fixed it. If you are still facing the problem, then try out the next fix.

Run The Game In DirectX 11 Mode

Some players reported that running the game in the DirectX 11 mode fixed this issue for them. This is a temporary fix but if it solves the issue then it’s worth it. To do this, you must:

1. Go to your Steam Library
2. Right-click Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach and select Properties…
3. Under the General tab, add -dx11 to the LAUNCH OPTIONS. This will force the game to run in DirectX 11 mode
4. Close the window

Check Your PC Specs

If your PC doesn’t meet the game’s minimum system requirements, you will have a difficult time trying to run it. The minimum system requirements for FNAF: Security Breach are:

OS	Windows 10 64-bit
Processor	AMD Ryzen 5 3600, Core i5 6600K
Memory	8 GB RAM
Graphics	Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
DirectX	Version 12
Storage	80 GB available space

If your PC meets these requirements and you are still facing the issue, it’s time to try out the next solution.

Update Your Graphics Driver

Always make sure that your graphics drivers are updated. Both NVIDIA and AMD have released drivers that are optimized for the latest games such as Battlefield 2042. If you are facing the DirectX error, installing the newer drivers will fix certainly that.

You can also try to adjust your NVIDIA Control Panel settings to find the optimal setting for your PC. This often gives your FPS a massive boost and can help you out a lot in certain situations.

For NVIDIA, you should download the latest drivers from their official website.

If you have an AMD GPU, we suggest downloading the Radeon Auto Detect Software to get the latest drivers.

Restart Your PC

If all else fails, try to restart your PC and launch the game again. Hopefully, it will fix the issue but this is not the best solution. If it doesn’t fix it, then you might have to wait to see if the devs release an update. You can contact the devs and tell them your problem to bring light to it.
