    DirectX 10 Patch for CoH is OUT!

    The Direct X 10 patch for Company of Heroes has been released.

    Some balance and bug tweaks as well, release notes to follow.

    The 1.61 to 1.70 patch is only 13MB, I suspect the content for this patch was added last patch.

    http://www.companyofheroesgame.com/updates/

    also get latest drivers: 158.45

    some info and shots:http://www.relicrank.com/bloggo/2007...h-screenshots/

    changelog:

    v1.70 05/29/2007

    DX10 Features
    - Edges of particles are softened where intersecting 3D objects.
    - Thousands of additional 'litter' objects in the world.
    - Improved user control over anti aliasing settings.
    - Alpha to coverage anti aliasing to improve quality of alpha test objects such as shrubs.
    - Lighting quality has improved by moving all calculations per pixel.
    - More precise point light calculations.
    - Point lights can now cast shadows.
    - 3D short grass on the terrain.
    - Vertical refresh synchronization is enabled by default to improve visual quality by preventing tearing of the display image, use '-novsync' to disable.
    - Hardware PCF for improved shadow quality.

    Other Fixes
    - Various crash fixes.
    - Improved hack detection.

    Gameplay
    - Axis Pak38 50mm accuracy modifiers vs infantry target types have been reduced.
    - Allied M1 57mm AT gun accuracy modifiers vs infantry target types have been reduced.
    - Certain Infantry Antitank weapons (bazookas, panzerschrecks, recoilless rifles) accuracy modifiers vs infantry target types have been reduced.
    - Attack ground functionality was removed from the 234 Armored Car to fix issues enabling it to fire through shot-blocking objects.
    - Tank and armoured car weapon types can no longer one-shot kill 234/Puma Armoured car and M8 Armoured Cars.

    "Generally speaking, CMOS power consumption is the result of charging and discharging gate capacitors. The charge required to fully charge the gate grows with the voltage; charge times frequency is current. Voltage times current is power. So, as you raise the voltage, the current consumption grows linearly, and the power consumption quadratically, at a fixed frequency. Once you reach the frequency limit of the chip without raising the voltage, further frequency increases are normally proportional to voltage. In other words, once you have to start raising the voltage, power consumption tends to rise with the cube of frequency."

    just a note we shouldn't really take this as being the pinnacle of DX10 considering its an RTS (based on DX9). What you can really see about the change from DX9 to DX10 is features like this:
    - Alpha to coverage anti aliasing to improve quality of alpha test objects such as shrubs.
    - Thousands of additional 'litter' objects in the world.
    - 3D short grass on the terrain.
    Finally the merits of DX10 are obvious, tons more objects without such a performance hit. Only thing holding this game back is the fact that there is a DX9 code path. But at least DX10 gets the eye candy for now. Man do we have a lot to look forward to in DX10 only games .
    Can't wait!

    Man, this update is borked. Performance is way worse (but ultra-quality on the terrain is selected instead of high) and some of the effects are gone. Like in the performance test, once they turn on the searchlights, with the DC9.0 codepath, you see bloom/HDR going wild. With DX10, it doesn't even look like they switch the lights on

    tried latest forcewares? Probably due to poor DX10 drivers at this time..

    thx for the heads up, i will dl these later tonight.


    whew, definitely a little more taxing with the 16xQ CSAA

    core 2 duo @ 3.15GHz and 8800GTX work fine with everything maxed out and dx10 enabled.

    Those new beta drivers fixed the graphical issues, although there's still a bug where the water doesn't reflect the sky. No idea whether this is intentional or not.



    Performance still sucks. Either the new 3D-grass is REALLY taking or those DX10 drivers are still really early. My minimum FPS droppen from 28 to 7. Average from 48 to 28

    Nah, that thread's not from the XS News section (remember, a thread in XS News section does not dupe a thread in another section). Thanks for the link though.

    Btw, imo DX10 SSs looks better most of the time. But if this is at a dramatic FPS loss / higher settings...
