This guide resolves a common crash issue for the Metalstorm game on Epic Games, which is typically related to the game's DirectX 12 files. The solution is to rename the relevant folder to force the game to use a different rendering method.
Step 1: Locate the Game Installation Folder
The first step is to open your File Explorer and navigate to the directory where Epic Games installed {Metalstorm}.
- Action: Go to the local disk where your programs are installed (usually C: drive).
-
Path: Follow the standard installation path: {C:\Program Files\Epic Games\Metalstorm}
Step 2: Identify the Target Folder
Once inside the {Metalstorm} folder, you must find the folder responsible for the DirectX 12 (D3D12) files.
- Action: Scroll through the list of folders and locate the folder named {D3D12}.
Step 3: Execute the Rename Action
The renaming process is initiated by right-clicking the folder.
- Action: Right-click on the{D3D12} folder.
- Menu: Select the Rename option from the context menu that appears.
Step 4: Apply the Name Change
You will now change the name of the folder so the game no longer recognizes it as the default D3D12 directory.
- Original Name: {D3D12}
- New Name: Change it to {D3D12\_Backup}
- Finalize: Press the Enter key to complete the rename.
Step 5: Test the Fix
With the D3D12 folder renamed, the game should attempt to load using a different, more stable DirectX version or rendering method.
Action: Launch the {Metalstorm} game again via the Epic Games Launcher.
