I don't vote because I think DX9 should be there as it was written on the box. I would have voted for "bring DX10 patch now and DX9 compatibility patch later" though.

8 people need a new computer.

If the only people that are still interested in CloD are those that vote in these pointless polls, it is doomed anyway...

The only person I see whining here , is you andy .

Question for this poll need revision.

I not going to vote because each of the options is a compound response and neither of the options fit my views.

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.
