Direct X 10/11 Question - Answer (Translated)

[viion]

Just because graphic cards have dx 10/11 support doesn't mean it is popular. That's just retarded.

Very few single player games actually use DX11, and this game is an MMO- a game of a genre that is always going to be behind cutting edge technology. They might have some pressure for supporting DX10, if only it had more of an impact on the graphics as it does now. DX11 has tesselation but not many are using it- thus it's not popular.

Once DX11 finally becomes mainstream for PC games SE might start supporting it, but not before. The game looks fucking gorgeous as-is, and so do single player games like the witcher 2 that run on DX9 still.

Not to mention the current engine should be optimised for DX9 before making it 10 or 11 compatible. Which is what they're doing.

I'm sorry if logic got in the way of your mindless bitching. Go on.

A lot of games use 11, and so many use 10 now.

Why does a game have to wait for other games to begin using it to decide weather it should? All current market cards support 11.

Hell even WoW has dx11 support...

Because it blows most games that use DX11 out of the water as-is. The fact is DX11 is not mainstream, and DX10 is pretty lackluster compared to 11, so what Bayohne said is valid. Great looking DX9 > shitty DX11. SE has no pressure at this point, hence they won't need to start supporting it. Companies won't do anything just for the sake of it being available. DX11 is not going to fix the aesthetic shortcomings of the game, and nobody is foolish enough to say this game doesn't look gorgeous for an MMO already. There is not enough value in the feature to spend resources on it as things stand. One day there might be, at which point the support will come, as Bayohne implied.

Now, go on with your herpin' derpin'.
