Direct3D Win32 Game Template not Showing up in VS 2019

I am trying to use the directx TK with visual studio. In the wiki, it shows the template option "Direct3D Win32 Game"; however, that is not available in my templates. I think that I have installed all of the required work loads.

Solution

  • Direct3D Win32 Game is not part of Visual Studio. The Visual Studio UWP workload it does include "DirectX 11 Game" for UWP.

    You get "Direct3D WIn32 Game" by installing the VSIX from GitHub. There are install links here.
