Recommended Posts

Cant see it happen since the engine doesn't use your PC resource's that are available anyway. :confused:

Microsoft is claiming DirectX 11.2 will be exclusive to Windows 8.1. So I'm assuming it won't happen. Engines usually need to incorporate new directX features in early development it's too late for Arma 3 I believe.

It's also nothing new, OpenGL has been doing things that microsoft's DirectX 11.2 is claiming as brand new never before seen features for years.

Outerra anteworld. The magic of OpenGL's amazing features textures, fractal algorithms. *of course the engine their developing is oustanding*

Check out the tech demo for it. http://www.outerra.com/

One day I'd hope to see every game use such detailed and smooth terrain.

Arma 4, with an entire planet to wage war upon, and you can launch spy satellites

I'd flip a sh*t if BI came out in 10 years and said "Here's earth, and a bajillion guns and vehicles, have fun"

On a less-happy note, kinda dissapointed that DX11.2 is a Windows 8 thing, and I also agree with Smiley, A3 doesn't use enough of the normal resources to warrant getting the new DX11.2

developer's view - situation la Windows Vista DX10 era

68% with Windows 7 , DirectX 11.0+some might installed feature update to partial 11.1

14% with Windows 8 , DirectX 11.1

0.01% with Windows 8.1 , DirectX 11.2

08% with Windows Vista , DirectX 11.0

10% with XPs , obsolete DirectX 9

let's be optimistic and say all 18% Vista/XP users go and buy this year new PC with Windows 8.1

and even more optimistic, let say all 100% Windows 8 owners update to 8.1

then You still on 32% Windows 8.1 , DirectX 11.2 ...

any reason to hurry ? not at all ...

Thanks for the conclusive answer, Dwarden-sama !

By the way, I am again addicted to one of your products (first A2, then A2OA, now A3, where will that end ?), where can I claim support for this addiction as I don´t feel able to work anymore ;)

I don't want DX11.2, I just want whatever that is in that Outerra video!!!!

PS:

Pay attention to the shadow the MIG is casting. Shadow maps!!! When will BI embrace the newer tech and ditch that old fake looking stencil junk =/
