Evergine supports Vulkan and DirectX12 from its first official release 2021.11.17.2-preview, but the problem with adding them to Evergine Studio is that it is a WPF application. I guess we shall see.thanks everyone.In the last weeks, I have been working on adding Vulkan and DirectX12 available backends to Evergine Studio. I feel encouraged! BTW, I am reading that W10 is supposed to be the best of both W7 and W8.1. I especially appreciated the inside input on CIV 5 working great with W10. Been playing this since the early 1990's, whenever CIV I came out.its my absolute favorite game on the planet and nothing else can take its place. I love CIV 5 so much anything I can do to enhance it I am all for. Yes, I could put another copy of W7 OEM on the new computer and that would solve this issue, but I am reading that W10 is slated to handle threads more efficiently than before, and this could translate into better overall performance, maybe affect improved game performance.
If I spend $150 on another copy of W7 Pro OEM, I will not have a purchased copy of W10.just saying, I don't want my O/S obsolesced as being out of date and not getting security updates any longer. The reason why I am doing this is because I have had an irreparable failure on my motherboard and I must build a new computer.
I love Windows 7, but it will now be 3 operating systems behind Windows 10 (7, 8.0, 8.10). Thanks everyone for replying, all good answers and input. I don't know if Microsoft has worked with our game developers on compatibility issues or if the developers are concerned that the game works under this new Direct X and Windows platform.Īny comments, suggestions, hints, or insider knowledge would be very helpful before I go dump a good wad of money to build a new gamer. I hope that CIV 5 will transition well under Windows 10 and Direct X 12. My experience has always been great with CIV 5, but like everything else, times change. Since CIV 5 is a DirectX 11 or lower game, are the game developers working to ensure that CIV 5 is game compatible with Windows 10 and Direct X 12? I would hate to put together a $1500 computer with all the latest goodies and find out my BELOVED CIV 5 falls flat on its face.Ĭan anyone enlighten me or at least give me some hints. Nvidia says that they plan to support all cards going back a long ways, but I guess (and I am not concerned since I won't buy one of theirs) ATI (ADM.Īnyway, I am concerned that maybe the game will fail to run or run into problems with DirectX12 EVEN THO I am reading Microsoft swears DirectX 12 will be compatible with older Direct X's. Microsoft has snuck DirectX 12 into the new operating system. In putting a component build together for a new computer, I began investigating DirectX and Windows 10 which is due to come out on July 29, see an example like this.
I currently am running Steam and CIV 5 on a Windows 7 Professional computer with an older graphics card and DirectX 11 choice at game start up. I am about ready to build a new computer, and CIV 5 is my main concern. Hi Folks, got a question, hope you have some answers or at least best guesses.
