[REQUEST] Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition

[Johnny Two Tips]

So I'm no computer major but what I gathered is that the game runs on a very broken version of DirectX10 and crashes all the time. There's a workaround but only works for PCs that have upgraded from Windows 7. Windows 8 and 10 are SOL. Specifically for the case of Windows 8 and 10, the game crashes on launch every time. Is this something that's within your capabilities Kal or are we just boned?

[Kaldaien]

I think you're boned :)

Special K was deleted from GitHub, but even when I'm not worrying abbout where to host the thing, it doesn't have support for D3D10 :-\ This is an API I would like to skip entirely, as apparently would the handful of developers that ever used it :)

If there's a D3D9 version available, that's your best bet.

Steam includes both a Dx9 and Dx10 version of that game. Sounds like Dx10 is pretty useless all around in DMC4:

It just increases shadow quality, Lighting, Particle effects, etc. Very minimally its very hard to notice.

DMC4 SE is DX10 only, DMC4 regular has DX9 and DX10, and DX9 isn't bugged on modern OS's (whereas DX10 is for a lot of people on modern OS's, not a game-specific issue) so get the regular version.

The only way he could fix DMC4 SE is if he found a way to port the game from DX10 to DX11, which I'd imagine is MUCH easier said than done. (it is possible though, Nordic did exactly that with Red Faction: Gureilla when replacing GfWL with Steamworks)

Oh right, DMC4 had a Special Edition as well. Don't own that myself :/

sorry to necro, but yeah; dmc 4 se is dx10 only (even though the vanilla version had 9 as well). there is a fix for any dx10 game that crashes that relies forcing them to run on much older dx10 system files that can only be found on windows 7 and only work on windows 7

What crapcom were thinking porting the game into an api that M$ broke years ago, I'll never know.
