I have a question about Windows XP support.
So I when patch 4.2 gets released for Unreal Engine 4 Windows XP will be supported and it will use OpenGL.
My question is why not also add support for DirectX 9? I know Unreal Engine 4 uses DirectX 11 render but why not add support for DirectX 9 as well? What about Windows XP 64-bit?
The PC version of Metro 2033 supports DirectX 9, DirectX 10, and DirectX 11.
The PC version of Red Faction: Armageddon supports DirectX 9, DirectX 10, and DirectX 11.
The PC version of Saints Row: The Third supports DirectX9, DirectX 10, and DrrectX 11.
The PC version of Metro: Last Light supports DirectX 9, DirectX 10, and DirectX 11. It is one of the best looking PC versions of video games that releases for sale in 2013.
Here is a list of all the PC versions of video games that support Directx 9 to DirectX 11. The PC version of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat supports DirectX 8, DirectX 9.oc, DirectX 10, DirectX 10.1, and DirectX 11.
I asked this question in March and to some people in a Private Message (PM).
I don’t want to be annoying but just want to know why a bunch of PC versions of video games have DirectX 9, DirectX 10, and DirectX 11 support?
I don’t have much experience with OpenGL only DirectX 9, DirectX 10, and DirectX 11.
I use Unreal Engine 3 (unreal Development Kit (UDK), CryEngine 2, CryEngine 3, and CryEngine every week. I will be paying a subscription for Unreal Engine 4 at the end of 2014 and since Windows XP is supported I am going to add support for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 for my video game and it would be nice to add support and work with DirectX 9.
I know some people will say it will limit Epic Games for what they can do with Unreal Engine 4 but I don’t believe it I use DirectX 9, DirectX 10, and DirectX 11 every week and as I said a bunch of PC versions of video games use DirectX 9, DirectX 10, and DirectX 11. The PC version of Metro: Last Light is one of the best looking PC versions of video games released for sale in 2013 as I said above.
