No DX 11 Support Upon Release

[DthB4Dishonor]

It appears the game will not support DX 11 upon release. It will Support DX 9/10 but it hasn't even been mentioned if it will support AA.

CA has stated that DX 11 support will be patched in 2-4 weeks after release.

Which is a rehash of the Empire episode... Not good, but then again, it affects those with super high end computers.

I'm just sitting back and will play the game the patches will be released.

Considering my v-card doesnt support DX-11 this doesn't effect me at all.

It will Support DX 9/10 but it hasn't even been mentioned if it will support AA.

It supports AA and was mentioned in one of the various 'omg demo' threads.

Uhm, the demo has shader model 3, that's DX 9 IIRC.

If it had DX 10 there should be Shader model 4. Are there even any DX10 exclusive effects in ETW?

It's not like I really mind as long as it looks good enough though. Perhaps they could make the soldiers look more real close up with tesselation etc. but I don't remember CA games being at the edge of graphical development, yet the newer releases look good enough to me.

If the game is good and immersive enough (and it seems like it will be), the video card in my mind will kick in and compensate for any "deficiencies" in game graphics. I was totally ignorant of those sprites in STW - I saw real men fighting.

Is that mind Video Card ATI or Nvidia? I have to get one :) . I just hope it runs smoothly. I know some guys with Nvidia mid/high level cards like mine were having pretty significant FPS drops. I would like it to look very nice but more importantly want it to run smoothly.

After waiting 10 years for Shogun 2 I don't see how waiting a few weeks for DX11 support is an issue. Many people (probably most) have PCs that can't handle DX11 in the first place.

as long as it arrives i will be happy.

Well I am lucky enough to have bought an ATI HD 5670 1GB card and this is the first game that I will own that actually supports DX11 so I am kinda bummed.

I can appreciate being "kinda bummed". My card supports it, too. What I can't do is get well and truly bent over this. It's not like CA said "There will be no DX11 support". It is coming and it's not far off.

If it never shows up, however, color me angry. I believe we will get it in due time.
