The question was based on a poll and the figures associated with it! Please note nearly 300 members voted!... they can`t be all "clueless cry babies"...isn`t it?

Your missing the fact that 15% still use it.

1) DX9 is in the system requirements, we have to support it.
2) DX9 is very important for our next project, we want to make it a popular game, what will work on maximum variants of PC. Now we are fixing and testing DX9 on CloD engine.
3) The sample of votes from the forum is not representative

Well then OK. A week or more won´t make a big difference. Thx for your quick reply. Greetz, Allons!

Thank you for your reply... however I find it quite extrodinary that you think the "sample of votes are not relevant". If you have to fix DirectX 9 so be it but you should not delay the patch by doing so. In some previos update you where talking about a few days for optimising the clouds, another few for the grass etc... this has not materialised, isn`t it ?

It will be a beta patch again as I know. And it's our choise what we want to test at present. All, what was promised, will be in the final patch.

He DID NOT say "not relevant" -

He said, "not representative " - a VERY big difference.

He is correct, your wording of the poll and sampling group do not represent the greater market. Your sampling and wording is not congruent with sampling techniques.

MMO? DirectX 9? Isn't the XBox DirectX 9?????

Out there I know, but, just a thought.

Aer9o,

As they say, Lies, Damn Lies and statistics!

A properly worded, unbiased poll is a thing of beauty!

Others are not!

Cheers!

.
DX9, DX10 or DX11 is the evolution of part of the graphic and system software supporting the hardware it is important like food supporting a living organism. But the one with a big DX11 capable system wait for a long time for something they do not need. Like rich peoples with big cars like to go fast and do not want this little car that does not go fast on the fast roads. Be patient a poll is only a opinion not a law.

When only 300 people vote in a total of 2629 views, there is definitely something wrong with the poll. You need maybe 10-20 minutes to google and read the most introductory theory on statistics to realize that such a poll is not representative of public opinion within this forum alone, much less the entire community.

Also, out of those 300 people that voted, i saw quite a few saying that "i voted no DX9 only because i don't use it and there is no other option in the poll". Which means that even among those 300, not all are totally against it.

See, when you're a moderator you pretty much have to read everything, so it's hard to miss the "evidence"

Finally, effects are done entirely in DX9 and that's why there are no hit flashes and mini-explosions in the DX10-only test patch.

No DX9 = no effects = probably more patch delays to make the effects from scratch in DX10. Go ahead and convince them to remove DX9 if you want the patch to take longer, i'm sure nobody in the community will have a problem with that , not to mention my job will become much harder as a result.
