Post by: HamrDown on May 24, 2016, 07:59:14 PM: If this version supports Direct X 11, how do I run it that way?

...but...what do I do once I find it...?

And what difference does it make, if any?

Oldman, it has been discussed that DX11 helps the GPU along. Much of AH3 performance is related to GPU.

The easiest way IMO is to right click the Beta icon on the Desktop and choose "Open File Location". That will immediately take you to the right place.

Again, right clicking the ahbeta11.exe and choosing "Send to -> Desktop (create shortcut)" is the fastest way to make a shortcut for the DX11 game.

I'm not finding these settings on a menu. Where should I look for fog ranges?
