Company of Heroes will get DirectX 10 patch Q1 2007
Company of Heroes, one of the best RTS games of 2006, may be the first game to be patched to use DirectX10. The patch, which can be expected sometime in March, will redo a lot of the textures. It will also add several new features, streamline the graphics engine, and generally make things look prettier. The DX10 version of Company of Heroes will actually run faster than the DX9 version, however once you add in all the additional gameplay features THQ plans on adding, the two versions of Company of Heroes will perform about the same.

I DONT want to upgrade to VISTA whatsoever after reading some of the information out there. Even when I build a new computer in 6 months or so it will not have Vista on it.
Will I have to get VISTA to use DX10? I sure hope not
Unless for some reason Micro$hit backports it.
Sucks Dunnit. I still have a key for Ultimate however and will see about getting a free copy for all my hard work.
I have been reading the posts on VISTA and it seems like with all the DRM issues and the talk about if there is a change voltages etc it wont do things well.....how will that affect OC'ing for us....
Reason for asking is I LOVE Company of Heroes....just started playing it last weekend. It runs OK on my laptop and on my gamerig but as some of us here I like to get the best graphics I can (max settings)...if the patch comes out for DX10....will we all be screwed if we dont have vista? I think so....I believe they could stop providing updates/support for DX9????
DX10 is not backwords compatable at all. So there is no way for it to work on XP seeing that it works underDX9.
So to enhance the current game to DX10, we have to spend $20. Regardless if there are some silly expansion maps.
Am I missing some secret hidden message here?
Absolutely incredible...and the camera abilities are insanely cool! Check out this link to some of the games being played on TSN!
