Its BAD NEWS for DX9

[kyledoormansands]

Well, FARSIGHT are saying Management has not plans to add DX9 to STERN PINBALL ARCADE,,, so were pretty much being left behind it seems.... which is a shame, i like many others were going to buy the premium tables. But i guess i just have to wait till next year when the EUROPE RELEASE of xbox one stern pinball arcade comes out.... so at least there is light at the end of the tunnel,,, somewhere for me. But it does SUCK DONKEY BALLS that dx9 was left out..... leaving most of us out in the process, NOT COOL !!

No offense intended but what hard/software are you using that does still not support DX11 at the end of 2016?

[kyledoormansands]

im not very pc minded, as i mostly play pinball on xbox one.... Its just i downloaded pinball on my pc aswell because farsight have a huge backlog when it comes to releasing tables on xbox,,,but there all ready released on steam pinball arcade, and my pc can play them perfectley.. so i bought the missing tables on steam. Concerning stern tables tho,,for this new app, well it says on my computer i have INTEL,R HD GRAPHICS what ever that means. ??? if there is some sort of setting i can do to make it work.... im all ears lol

Im not sure if Stern Pinball really uses DX 11. When i compare the same table, lets take "Ripleys Believe it or not" in Stern Pinball and Pinball Arcade, it looks better in PA DX 11 with lightning effects. In Stern it looks like the DX 9 version in PA.

Windows 10 might have DX12 support, but your hardware, namely the GPU (graphics processing unit) has to support DX11 or DX12, Intel HD (for video) tells me you are using an on-board video and those are subpar generally speaking compared to a secondary video card.

If it's a laptop you are locked into that video, there are external video cards for laptops, but expensive and if your video is that bad, the CPU (central processing unit) and the northbridge/southbridge guts of the system are probably not condusive to quality gaming, either.

DX11+ has been available for years, DX9 is now well over a decade old technology, so yeah it's time to push the envelope to a new standard for graphics.

DX11+ support for a desktop PC is a video card upgrade, that's all, assuming you have later than Windows XP, which probably ends at DX9 support.

I looked it up, that is a cheapo system meant for basic computing, doesn't even have a video card slot on the motherboard and a laughably lowest PSU I have ever heard of: 65W

Made by Packard Hell, figures.

You need a full system upgrade, that one is awful for your needs (aka gamer).

in my defence,,,, i play all my games on xbox one... i only bought the pc computer to play FUTURE PINBALL, and VISUAL PINBALL on.... thats it, but then when farsight was not releasing the season five tables i payed for on xbox one, backlogging.... i discovered THE PINBALL ARCADE worked perfectley great on my PC and so i got the rest of my missing tables.... But i guess my luck has just run out on the STERN APP... but one day in the future it will be released in ENGLAND on xbox one,,, and i will finally get to play it lol

Go for it.... You'll be tons happier PC wise, ask for SSD, 16gigs of RAM, a 256-bit or higher DX12 video card, 750W+ PSU, they will know what that means or they are not experts.
