DirectX Control Panel (DXCPL) is a powerful utility for players on 64-bit systems who struggle with low-end hardware or lack modern DirectX support
This command overrides the DirectX version to 11, enables all debugging options, and disables the D3D11 SDK layers.
- Use the 64-bit dxcpl when targeting 64-bit PES 2017 executables.
- Primarily a diagnostic and compatibility tool—use cautiously for gameplay.
- Prefer specialized capture/debug tools (RenderDoc, PIX) for in-depth analysis and reserve dxcpl for quick Direct3D runtime/feature tweaks.
Caution and Compatibility
Input Lag
: Critical in a fast-paced sports game where timing is everything.
Alternative (No dxcpl) – Using the PES 2017 “Fallback” Settings
. Because you are forcing the hardware to perform tasks it wasn't natively designed for (or using "Force WARP" to let the CPU handle some GPU tasks), you may experience lower frame rates. To offset this, players usually pair the DXCPL fix with: Low Settings : Reducing in-game resolution and turning off shadows. Sider Tools
While PES 2017 is a classic, maintaining it on modern 64-bit architecture can require manual tweaking. The DirectX Control Panel ( dxcpl ) acts as a bridge between the game's aging engine and modern graphics drivers. By adding PES2017.exe to the managed list in dxcpl , you can often instantly fix the white pitch and texture errors, allowing you to get back to the beautiful game without visual distractions.
