For Persona 5 Royal players who are trying to play the game on Windows 7, this guide will show you how to run it on Windows 7 64-bit
Prerequisites
Prerequisites
- A Vulkan GPU Driver
The latest one for Windows 7 From Nvidia is 1.2.170 Included in 473.81 Nvidia GPU Driver - VxKex Version 0.0.0.3 [github.com]
- DXVK Version 1.10.3 [github.com]
*If you are running Old Hardware you may need a older Version of DXVK Legacy versions of DXVK require a Vulkan 1.1 Driver
Optional Alternative I Have Found Async to Perform better with my Setup - DXVK ASYNC Version 1.10.3 [github.com]
VxKex and DXVK
Extract d3d11.dll and dxgi.dll from dxvk-1.10.3/x64 to SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\P5RInstall VxKex Version 0.0.0.3 KexSetup_x64.Rel As An Administrator And Restart your PC.
Run VXKEXLDR.EXE from C:\Program Files\VxKex and then click browse to find P5R.exe then select Run
P5R.exe Properties
Check “Enable VxKex”
Check “Report a Different Version of Windows”
Choose -Windows 10Under the default Windows Compatibility tab
Make sure ‘Run this Program as an Administrator’ is NOT checked
Troubleshooting
If you receive an error “Does Not Meet Minimum Requirements”
Try different combinations of “Report a Different Version of Windows” and “Enable VxKex” Under VxKex for Steam.exe
DXVK Troubleshooting
Make sure you have the correct DXVK version and compatible Vulkan hardware/GPU driver.
You can Check your Vulkan driver version under the Advanced tab of GPU-Z or try searching for ‘vulkaninfo-x64’ under your C:\ Drive
AMD Users should be able to just look at your GPU Control Panel
You can also search your own GPU under https://vulkan.gpuinfo.org/ Although regarding Windows 7 it seems inconsistent.
Lastly check the support wiki page of DXVK to see what versions of DXVK your Hardware will support
