Shattered Horizon will be exclusively DX10, motherfuckers...

[QUOTE=cheesedelux;20335122]I don't mind them leaving XP behind, but the reason I don't upgrade isn't that I hate change, it's because it's such a massive hassle for files and programs. Yes, the majority of my stuff is on my external hard drives, but I read a guide on moving files... Which said I'd have to reinstall everything. Since I have around 100 games installed across my drives all with save files and me and my slow downloading/DVD reading would make that a massive, massive hassle.
Also this game was released in November, you're late in finding out and wrong to use "will be" in the title.[/QUOTE]
True, but on the other hand think of all the programs you never use that you'll be getting rid of. Nice fresh start.

I can't say I'm not annoyed that I can't play the game on my XP when all the other games seem to get on fine with DX9. It's not going to make me upgrade any time soon, though.

Now we just need a Directx11 only game.

[Zeos]

I'm going to get 7 when I have 4 gigs of ram, (Well I need that for a completely separate reason but whatever). Right now I don't need it, well that and I don't have enough money for W7 anyways.

can't we at least wait untill we've actually cut off DX9? besides. there's only like 2 dx11 cards or so. and i don't feel like upgrading a com that i invested a lot of cash in and am expexting to ride out dx10.1 all the way.

Shouldn't the free weekend for this be over? I can still play.

My mistake, i thought i could but it never told me because it started normally.

[QUOTE=s0m3_guy;20340615]Yeah, just cause it that picture from the site for some reason is using Vista or maybe a skin of it means you can't get a early version of DirectX 10 that still had backwards compatibility. In fact you don't even need a god damn installer to register the DirectX 10 dlls.[/QUOTE]

yea because i totally believe that it it works on XP when they're using vista/7 to show off the installer.

[QUOTE=s0m3_guy;20334785][URL="http://www.technospot.net/blogs/download-directx-10-for-windows-xp-from-alky-project/"]Jeez it isn't hard to google DX10 for XP.[/URL][/QUOTE]

i had to do that just to get farcry 2 to work

I do think its stupid and they are really losing customers. Many people still play on XP, including me. I did find this game interesting and was going to buy it during the holiday sale but then saw it was Vista/7 only. They lost a customer.

Ever think that it's impossible to render correctly on DX9? The reason why DX10 is Vista+ only is because it uses a whole new kernel system or something.

Ask Panda X on why you're fucking retarded.

Also you're playing on an OS from 2001.

[wolfy_boy]

It's only a matter of time before DX9 gets phased out completely.

[trent_roolz]

Technically you can run it on lower DX levels, can't you? I don't know if that would allow for use of XP though. Just add -dxlevel 90 to the launch options to run it on DX 9, or -dxlevel 80 to run it on DX 8, -dxlevel 70 for DX 7, or -dxlevel 60 for DX 6. Not that you would need it to run that shitty but still.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, I might be.

[Elexar]

As far as I know, you're wrong. DX10 is wholly different than DX9 (else you could've installed it on XP and such), so they must've coded additional pieces of code to support DX9 which they didn't. So I believe, even if you add -dxlevel 90 or 80 it would either shit itself or just run on 100 (DX10).

Besides, you can't even install the game if you don't have the Vista or 7 OS.

[QUOTE=ChaosUnleash;20345077]That doesn't seem to make sense, anything that works on Vista SHOULD work on 7 unless you go for 64 bit and try running 16 bit games on it. I think the professional version has an XP mode that makes programs like that work anyway.[/QUOTE]

Should doesn't mean it will. Regardless of whether it makes sense, they haven't worked on any of the 7's I've tried (being all of them). I lost alot of really nice shit when I built my new comp with Vista last year, I'm not going to lose what's left until I'm ready or an OS that can use them comes out.
