To be more clear: I do not say to stop the DX9 patch. It should come as it should have been there from the start.
What is irritating though is that they don't separate the two things.
They could issue the patch minus DX9 as soon as they are ready and continue to work on the DX9 issue for another patch before BoM.
This hardly costs more effort on their side but at least all others could play with a decent patch. It would hardly delay the DX9 availability for the few who still use DX9.
And sorry: I do not buy that Eastern Europeans tend to lag behind in computer hardware. My guess is that it is rather the other way round
