Ghos.1326 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Is there any plans to get Guild Wars 2 on a current DirectX platform, like 11 or 12? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyth.6714 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 This game is poorly optimized and even with DX11/12 it wouldn’t support multithreading, DX11 and above does support multithreading, but core game doesn’t, so it wouldn’t have any effect about that, it would improve performance a bit, but not by much. It would be nice, but I doubt it will ever happen, they would most likely have to build around a whole new engine and that won't happen anytime soon, if at all.

Cicero.9120 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Native DX12 support would be amazing, but it's really impossible to overstate just how much work it would require. Moving from DX9 to something multithreaded with 12 would involve rebuilding huge parts of the engine the game is running on. The fact that the game runs "good enough" generally probably means there won't ever be a big push to sink that many dev resources into that kind of project.

Issues with cut-scenes were fixed a while-back including character portrait bugs. :)https://github.com/megai2/d912pxy/releases/tag/v2.3.1h2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
