This is weird. I have Win7 64 sp1. For grins and giggles I ran the DX 9c update. Radeon ATI 6770.

When I goto zoom now in the game I'm getting much crisper and clearer details on vehicals and aircraft. I was plinking at an M4 drone on a feild with an 88 and was surprised to see armored glass ports in the small hatch bulge on top of the main turret. Before I ran the DX update I had only seen the tiney hatch with no armored glass windows in it.

What makes this a surprise to me, this is a standard zoom test I do with the 88 on NDisles at A1 from the same 88 I always use shooting at an M4 400 yards away. Until I ran the update those armored windows were never rendering.

Just remember if any of you guys choose to do this update. First run a system restor point to fall back to if it causes unforseen problems.

or onboard sound right :D

that's all I have, game runs great, although I have to right click and "play as administrator" for it to play with out crashing.
Thats odd I used to run in admin now it  will crash if I use admin.

DX11 is backwards compatible with DX9 games but it doesn't work as well as installing the latest version of DX9. This will not replace or screw up your DX11 installation. They are happy to coexist on your PC.

Now I'm wondering what else I've missed in the game becasue it didn't render under DX11's backwards compatability. Or will this aleviate some number of problems due to to it. The brown wood grips on the turret 50cal even looked like brown wood on full zoom from 400 yards in the 88.
