Metro "Direct3D App" template and reference driver

Question

Hello,

I've created "Direct3D App" application using template from vs2012 and change driver type to D3D_DRIVER_TYPE_REFERENCE when creating device. After that I see no rotating cube as is should be. Just standard metro blue screen. Is it bug? Or should I provide some third party rasterizer? (btw direct compute works perfectly on reference device )

Thanks

Hello IEndGame,

You need to make sure your feature level is aligned with your reference driver. Please take a look at this page for more information:
