Viber "Failed to initialise D3D11 graphics backend" #123

Open BurnedPinguin opened 3 months ago

BurnedPinguin commented 3 months ago

Viber made the switch to QT6 after which they deprecated Windows 7/8(.1), and as I've seen other QT6 apps work, I tried it. The installer does not get fooled by VxKex version spoofing however, when you try a preinstalled copy, it gets past the usual error that QT6 applications give, only to get stuck on "Failed to initialise D3D11 graphics backend".

The app does not require logging in to test whether it will work on your operating system or not.

Yesterday VxKex got QT6 support, maybe you should try the latest version.

as an update, version 1.1.0.1291 does not fix this issue. I think it affects all QT6 programs that use D3D11, so there could be an easier test for the developer if they are not familiar with Viber and aren't sure how to test it.

Last working Viber is 18.1. From next one 18.7 (Qt6.2.4) to 22.x, none works on Win 7 with or without VxKex 1.1.1. Even with additionaly libs like dxgi.dll, d3d11.dll, etc.
