Game demands DirectX11 FL 10.0 but GPU supports 10.1

The game won't start on my Windows machine, demanding dx11 feature level 10.0 even though according to this, my GPU supports 10.1 :

NVIDIA GeForce G105M Specs | TechPowerUp GPU Database

I have the newest drivers and DX installed of course. What gives?

oh interesting, because it works on 4th gen Intel HD GPU, and your GPU is better than this (maybe?)

It's similar, I think. I have a Haswell on my other laptop, but I think the Nvidia is a bit better simply by virtue of being dedicated.

I can get the game running on the other laptop with Wine, but the FPS are terrible. I haven't tried it with windows on that laptop yet.

The game runs pretty well on my laptop, I'm currently using Intel HD Graphics 520, which I know not much about, but it at least runs! The problem your facing is probably based on your drivers, you can try updating them.

Press Windows Key + R and enter "dxdiag" to see which version of DirectX you're using. Head over to the "Display" tab and look to your right under where it says "Drivers", from there you can scroll until you see "Feature levels" and see which levels you have, there you must create a final conclusion.

It says "unknown"

Edit: after reinstalling the GeForce driver, it now shows 10_0. But the game still fails to start with "DX11 feature level 10.0 is required".

Try downloading the lastest drivers your for GPU, and make sure you download the DirectX SDK's you need :D, it's probably an issue with that, if not, you may need a laptop with a better integrated graphics card.

The laptop in question has a dedicated graphics card, not an integrated graphics card. The laptop with the integrated graphics card is a different laptop entirely. The game runs on that laptop, on Linux, but the performance is unplayably awful (The old school graphics should in principle be totally manageable, but I suppose the game isn't optimized with older hardware in mind). That is why I am trying to run it on my other laptop, on Windows, with a dedicated GPU. That is where the error occurs. I've already reinstalled Nvidia drivers and DirectX runtimes several times. I am 100% sure I've installed the right ones. It simply doesn't help. There is no obvious reason for this to be happening. My GPU supports exactly the feature level required. dxdiag says so.
