Last version of Photoshop supporting DirectX feature level 11.0?

[SaeedBRZ]

When I update Photoshop to the latest version I get the error "DirectX feature level 11.0 available, feature level 12.0 required". I would like to know what is the last version of Photoshop in which feature level 12.0 is not required?

Hi @SaeedBRZ Unfortunately this has been a requirement since 2022.

You can still download version 22.2 from your Creative Cloud desktop app (click the elipses... other versions).

It's Photoshop 2020 (21.x).

Photoshop 21.x system requirements (adobe.com)

Unfortunatey Adobe doesn't support these version anymore and the installations files don't be available.

You can go back to version 2019. For this versionb the installation files can be found here:

All the New Adobe CC 2019 Direct Download Links, Now Available! | ProDesignTools

I'll recommend to save the download files on an USB stick, hard drive or CD/DVD, but it isn't sure how long these links are available. 

Many thanks to jim @ prodesigntools.com

@AxelMatt Version 22.2 still allows DirectX12 without a requirement for feature level 12 and is available for download via the CC desktop app:

Thank you both for the replies. I found out that version 24.2.1 also supports feature level 11.0. I don't know if it's the last one to support 11.0, but it works anyways.

24.4.1 is the last one to support feature level 11. I tried all the later ones, and they don't support it.

The solution for feature level 11.0 is to use 24.4.1, as reported several times in this thread.
