True, and unfortunately I am sure that leaves them with potential legal issues if they haven't worded the EULA in such a way that they can withdraw support for DX9.

Hopefully they will drop support for it in BoM so things can progress at a faster pace without worrying too much about "extreme" backwards compatibility.

I'm only going on my own opinion which is that DX9 support is a bit of a waste of time since it doesn't benefit the majority, but I can appreciate and understand the flipside.

My only question remaining is more out of personal curiosity: has anyone actually gotten the game to run relatively well on a DX9 machine? I can't imagine my PC from ~6 years ago handling this and that was a pretty high spec machine: heck even my current machine has it's moments where it strains and I've built a pretty cutting edge machine for CloD.
