Title: Do you play with DX7?
Post by: Rhekimos on July 22, 2012, 07:19:11 pm
I'm interested in seeing how many people play cRPG in DX7 mode, as the possibility is going away with the arrival of the new client.

This isn't bullshit either, cmp just confirmed this.

DirectX 7 crashes for me.  :) Oherwise I'd use it because it is much clearer than DirectX 9.

Simple question, do you play warband/crpg in direct x 7.0, rather than the default 9.0?

Edit: Welp, made my thread just a tad too late.

I play on dx7 since like for ever  :oops:. I can run game on dx9 but dx7 gives me much better performance, as long as there are less then 40-50 players I could play on dx9 with more then 50 people online I get awfull fps drops. I am used to playing Warband with almost lowest settings available, game just feels wierd on dx9 for me. If that's true, then goodbye EU_1 for some months untill I get some proper PC  :lol:

Got the samething as Dalhi , I got around 120 fps all the time on lowest setting and dx7. And that's the way I like it. If I have to play dx9 I'm gonna hate the game.

Wouldn't play if I had to.

Why? It's a perfectly fun game with DX7 as well.

Yes, cause of stupid fps-drops with dx9

With these specs, I dont think it would be necessary for me to play with it, but strangely, I have to

well afaik you pretty much have to play on dx7 if your gpu doesnt support pixel shaders, right?

Just in case somebody is thinking to write a lengthy rage/whine post, I'd like to remind you that no official statement has been made and talking without knowing the facts usually makes you look like an idiot.
Keep discussing calmly like you've been doing until now. :wink:

I tryed myself dx9 and dx7 tonight in eu7 and fps drops were the same.
I would even say dx7 was even worse then dx9. :shock:

cmpx, you are a magician with all my respect.

I'm just very, very afraid if dx7 disappears.. My laptop, which is OK and fine tuned for cRPG with the best of my knowledge creates a strange form of input delay under dx9. Even when fps is OK or similar to DX7.

Just to throw in an argument to keep DX7, I think many warband players play it because its old and old hardware is what they have... :)

So if it must be dx9 only, please make it work beautifully, or i will cry..

I can't keep DX7, because that would imply it's already there in the first place. :wink:
While that might be the case in Warband, adjusting it to work with the new client/WSE would mean rewriting pretty much all of it.

Fuck, ok.

But then please make some extremely low res textures option or other tweaks so it can be run on older systems.

I, and I guess many others value gameplay smoothness (stable 60fps) far far more than graphics.

I like DX7 better because DX9 puts too much stress on my eyes. It feels better to hav it on DX7 with high performance settings.
Title: Re: Do you play with DX7?
Post by: yurah on July 23, 2012, 01:04:40 am
The reason I play with DX7 is because I don't like how DX9 looks
The whole setting is too dark, the shadows and scenery while the metals are too shiny
I just want to be able to slaughter people in a sunny day with a summer feel to it

Lolwut? I have a computer that is much worse and can run on dx9 all settings maxed with 120 FPS.

/me plays on dx7 as well.

I can play on dx9 but I've played on dx7 for so long dx9 seems so weird.

zagibu

I have dual core processor and i still need to use force single threading,because if it is not checked i get some freezez. I had same problem with l4d.
So it doesn't matter what are the specs,there is always something that will bug,or hardware we buy is maybie some shit class.

I play on DX7.

-performance
-DX9 looks like pretentious shit, strains the eyes, like some asshole said 'hey guys, let's turn up the specularity!' fuck you whoever that guy was.

DX7 swords look like plasticene until the final boss stuff is applied (not sure what is actually applied lately). It's kind of washed out but that's a plus.

Can easily play high dx9 but going on dx7 for better performance.

fps > graphics


It's just like in one of the earlier need for speeds  :).
In the beginning you can either choose a ugly looking car which has better stats, or go for a shiny one that sucks more than the ugly looking one.

HEY! , I will have to leave though dx9 on everything set to the lowest setting has wayyyyy too many fps drops, nearly unplayable.

Can I have your looms?

My laptop will run warband in dx9 just fine. However CRPG is unplayable in dx9 even with all graphics set to minimum. In dx7 I can turn everything up even shadows and still get 60 fps most of the time.

Title: Re: Do you play with DX7?
Post by: Lannistark on July 26, 2012, 04:43:11 pm
I prefer DX9 all along, it does not suppose a significant performance loss when it comes to crpg maps (on average). However for mods like Persistant World, it's either DX7 or get ganged.
