DirectX 9 Poll

Unfortunately, like so many Polls, this Poll is biased. It leans towards abandoning Dx9 with no option for "I do not use Dx9 but I think it should be supported".

I voted against Dx9 only in the sense that I don't think they should bother for future releases if they believe the market is not there. They have a legal obligation to do so for CoD.

It would be interesting to see this Poll on the Russian forum,

Leaving DX9 out from Il2CoD it is not possible, as the game was sold with DX9 as minimum DX requirement.

What can be done is to put IL2BoM out as for DX10/DX11 only, and also make the free patches for DX10/DX11 only.

Thus, if you want to still use DX9, just do not apply the latest official patches to IL2CoD.

Here's the official Steam hardware survey (pc only):

Win XP 32bit is used by 15.51% of pc users running Steam. Win XP64 by 0.52%. And percentages are dropping every month...

Imo the only rational reason to support dx9 in CoD is some sort of contractual obligation. Nowadays there are plenty of A games that will not run on Win XP. I liked Windows XP but those days are long gone.

I voted as well and It just got words in my mouth.
There is no way back, they said they gonna support DX9, doesn't matter how much the community rage. They got to do it.
Now about releasing a DX9 patch or a DX10+ patch, I bet that is not such a linear procedure. And by this time I bet they have already half of their work done, so we just need to be a little more patient, and wait for the patch to get released.

Bad voting options. One option should be: "I don't indulge in collective idiocy and though I won't use DX9, I understand that it was supported at release and therefore, it has to be further supported until at least up to the release of the addon".

Though I don't use DX9, I voted for it because of the stated reason. Now stop that billshat and wait out the few days until the patch is released; in a proper state and not in some fikked up this-and-that-only version.

Goddarnitt, I could fly the thing relatively stutter-free since release and still, I had to cope with you guys, sporting some super-awkward hardware configuration while insisting upon running CoD in maximum graphics setting, raising hell about it, about green grass and "unrealistic propeller discs" (lol³).
Now that you've stumbled over some half-useful graphics hardware, you're pushing the boundaries of idiocy even further. I'm sick of it...

The sad part is that the devs were actually listening to those exact points, while delaying very, very essential parts about the simulation like AI radio commands, flight models, et cetera, et cetera, pp. and so on, which could have been easily fixed in a heartbeat or two. This was the most epic case of failure on the part of the devs and the most stupid things uttered from that so-caled "community" I've ever encountered since firing up my first connection to the internet in 1995...

+1

The shop should have 7% of the developers or the developers time working on supporting DX9. Unless there's something really compelling that suggest otherwise.

[GOA_Potenz]

93.61% vs 6.39 says all...

[ElAurens]

This poll says nothing.

It means nothing.

It was a troll post from the start.

[ATAG_Doc]

Not really. It's easily seen as a choice for the voter for DX9 or not. And DX9 is getting crushed. There are not any words that can describe the lopsidedness of this vote.
