Steam game won't load, error "A d3d11 compatible gpu featuring level 11.0...required..."

    Hi, Im running an iMac with and intel i9 and AMD Radeon pro 5700 XT 16GB and have installed VMware 13 fusion (for home use), and then Windows 11 (from the ISO), and finally steam. I'm trying to play Panzer Corps 2 on steam, and am getting the error " A d3d11 compatible gpu featuring level 11.0, shadow module 5 is required to run the engine." Then it quits.  

    I've never been a windows user, but under the "display adapters" section in Device Manager it appears that dx11 is available. I have seen the suggestions that I type either -dx12 or -dx11 under the "launch options" in the properties section of the game itself, but in the former I get an error -dx12 is not supported, with the -dx11 I get the same error I showed at the top.  

    Any/all thoughts and ideas would be appreciated, thanks!

    I assume that you have VMware Tools installed in the VM and that you have turned on 3D acceleration for the VM in its settings.

    What does dxdiag report as available in the VM?

    Turned on graphics acceleration and installed tools.  Game on!

    Thanks for the quick reply, I appreciate the help!
