    ... Okay, at risk of derailing, so I'll make this the last question, but since I've nabbed someone knows stuff XD

    What'd be the advantage of the engine getting a DirectX upgrade? All I know at this point is using DX9 has something to do with the alt-tab from fullscreen problem, DX10 did something to the way sound is handled, and somewhere along the way a prettier lighting system came in, which I assume, would need even more changes to the engine to be usable that they may or may not bother with. Would it actually improve performance, too?
