[adonys]

the 15% was from Black6's official word about the DX9's %, not from a poll on a forum

Possibly - it doesn't alter the fact that 1C have said they are going to support DX9, nor does it alter the fact that we don't know what contractual obligations they may have. Without such information, we are in no position to say anything useful on the issue.

1. The decision to have Steam in CLOD was made by 1C Corporate.

2. 1C Corporate is not going to abandon what they see as 15% of the market.

3. DX9's inclusion is non-negotiable.


This thread is done.

Why is evryone so hell bent on keeping DX9 support?

I doubt any DX9 level cards would even run the interface at an acceptable frame rate.

Hell my 7970 runs slower when forced to use DX9 code, and I have yet to see anyone running CoD on an nVidia FX or ATI XT series card. Are those cards even supported in the specs of CoD?

DX9 support = use of an outdated API level, shrinking user base in terms of hardware, unessesary overhead in maintaining code.

Time to move on people.

I don't know that anyone is. It isn't our decision though, and we don't know the reasons for the decision. How is this so difficult to comprehend?
