DirectX 12 is a "low-level" API that functions very differently from DX11. Because 3DMigoto's codebase is so tightly coupled with the DX11 architecture, it cannot simply be "switched on" for DX12 games.

Because of the heavy demand for DX12 modding, developers have created specific forks to handle the newer API:
Using 3DMigoto or its forks in any game—especially those with anti-cheat like Genshin Impact —carries a risk of being banned.
