Question about Windows XP support

Epic Games added Windows XP support in like May.

I don’t have much knowledge with OpenGL and I would like to develop video games with Unreal Engine 4 on Windows XP with DirectX 9.

I did develop my own video game engine since 2011 which has support for DirectX 9, DirectX 10, and DirectX 11. I have not gotten to adding DirectX 11.1 and DirectX 11.2 support yet.

Also the video game engine I developed is not as good as Unreal Engine 4 because Epic Games has been developing Unreal Engine 4 since 2003 and developed Unreal Engine 4 to be highly portable to a lot of hardware and Operating Systems (OS’).

Why you so obsessed over DirectX9? it’s a rendering libery, something that you wont have any interaction with in UE4 (or else you gonna play around with custom node in materials or go deeply in to engine source code) regardless if you use DirectX9, DirectX11 or OpenGL. And as said above OpenGL is a lot better DirectX 9 on XP
