Directx 11

August 08 2012
So recently I've been reading a lot of stuff about guild wars 2 having problems with directx11 support? I can't find out much from the people posting about I on the forums seeing as I'm fertile with tech. Does dx11 not work or something? I have dx11 and the first beta (the only one I did) ran perfectly fine. Ive even upgraded my CPU since then.....so what's the problem? Can any of you guys help me out here?

ArenaNet just announced it won't support DX11 until 'later'. Only DX9 at launch.


From the album: Wall Photos
By Guild Wars 2
For those of you who have been asking about DX11 support for Guild Wars 2, our goal with GW2 has always been to provide a gorgeous fantasy world while at the same time running on a wide range of gaming PCs.

Focusing on DX9 allows us to do this, as it’s a much wider supported graphics API than DX11 is and we wanted our game to reach as many of our fans as possible.

We will be evaluating supporting DX11 post launch. ~RB2

I have read that they're working with Dx9 in order to be compatible with the widest number of systems and reach the widest possible fan base. But I don't know if that makes it difficult to run under high iterations of Dx. :\

So should I be fine....or can my graphics card support dx9 if it can support 11? Is it possible to change? Thanks so much for your responses guys!
