Beta 18 ** DX9 ** Released: Issues/Bug Reports

[puller]

To run a DirectX 11 application, your computer must be running Windows 7, or later.  We have two different games in the Beta 18.  One is for DirectX 9 (Windows XP and later), or DirectX 11 (Windows 7, or later).

If you try to run the DirectX 11 version on Windows XP, it will crash.

That's what I need to know...so xp doesn't support it...thank you so much...and I apologize for being computer ignorant

Beta 18, DX9 version gives immediate crash on my XP system:

Exception code 0xC0000005  Flags 0x00000000  Record 0x000...0 (all 0)  Address 0x000...0.

[E8400@3GHz, 8GB RAM, 2GB HD7870, 32bit WinXP sp3]

edit: I doubt this is important, but the crash report listed the Miles sound software as part of the system.

Bloom and Starburst effects are over exaggerated. Shadow flickering for trees and buildings is back with a vengeance versus how stable it was in beta 17. Under some situations where FPS in beta 17 was in the 30's, now they are in the 40's and 50's. Seems to be a combination of rock mass and many objects in a small area. Like a town close to a field or field close to a large rock formation like on my gunnery terrain. NDisles at A1 still has low FPS 20s and 30's sitting in a field gun panning around.

GTX 760 2G, 4096 textures, gamma 1.4, defaults.

If I remember correctly the ship wake in the skin viewer is a short segment. When the ship is moving the segment is constantly generated. At this time all ship wakes look like dashed lines where the wake segment is only being generated every other rendering segment.

After flying and driving around for about 15 minutes, clicking on quit hangs the game. And the starburst candy colored flowers are everywhere light is reflected as a sparkle. Ugghhhhh......looks like we are playing a Barbie or My little pony game. Kept waiting for Sailor Moon to fly by trailing rainbow sparkles.
