....typical users... They allways blame someone else.... And put the game back on the shelves... "I want my money back!!!!" they screaming...fix this and that and fix my computer and fix my kids and my life and my wife...whoops, sorry You can't fix women just like that You need lot of years of tests and patience to communicate with her but You will never fix her, You don't want to force any changes on her because she will not talk to You then. But if You don't like her, why are You still here just go away in silence... typical user... That's the way I see Cliffs of Dover at the moment and typical users on this forums.

P.S thanks for update B6

DX9 is important for the very large flight sim market in eastern Europe.

No it doesn't, the average yearly income in Russia, as of May 2008 (yes it has probably inreased a couple of dollars by now) was $7,680. This and the fact that computer components aren't much cheaper than in the EU for example makes building a new beefy rig an enourmous financial undertaking for even a normal income person in yarn old Federation. It seems a lot of people on this board aren't aware that there are poorer people than themselves in the world, especially in former Soviet countries, that strikes me as very ignorant. How can you be surprised that DX9 is still being supported for CloD? Do you think MG are only making sims for the wealthiest few in the west? lol to that!

Trough DX9 only cards are not supported :

*SUPPORTED VIDEO CARDS AT TIME OF RELEASE:
ATI® 4850/4870/5830/5850/5770/5870/6870/6950/6970
NVidia®: 8800/9800/250/260/275/285/460/465/470/480

We have to look back to understand why is there a DX9 support.

At the time of release Win7 was not wide adapted by the users, Vista ... well ... was Hasta la Vista , so there was a wide base users with XP.

Madoxx attended this users claim and released the game with DX9 support stamped in the box.

The real problem now is that you can´t go back and release a official patch now without DX9 support because the Steam Auto Update will break the game for those who are using the game in XP, meaning are playing in DX9.

About Win XP and DX9:

Win XP has approximately 40-45% at present. It's very much.
Therefore we must support DX9 now and in the near future.
