Vista, DX10 hardware and drivers to blame

As you may have read, there was a rumor and some reports about a DirectX 10 patch for Gas Powered Games' famous RTS, Supreme Commander. A new info on the developer's offical message board has revealed that there will be no such patch.

The post on the developer's message board reads: "The availability of DX10 hardware, final releases of Vista itself, and the solid drivers simply did not line up with the necessary time frames in our development cycle.", so they focused on graphical improvements that will benefit a far wider audience. You can find the post here .

There is also a v3251 patch released yesterday from Gas Powered Games's that includes a large number of game tweaks and balances, as well as several bug fixes and improvements.

You can get it from Gamespot here.

Good to see that DirectX 10 is taking off as planned. This, combined with the news that the DirectX 10 patch for Flight Simulator X still isn't ready, doesn't bode well at all. Also, where's this Company Of Heroes patch?

Nope as it would be a pea roast.

Didn't see that as I don't check out the games forums much at the moment, lol.

Hmmm, i wasnt sure if i cared enough to even post "i dont really care about DX10 patches. The game looks good enough to me".

I'm more bothered about how this reflects on the adoption of DirectX 10 in general as opposed to how good or bad it looks. So far DirectX 10 is becoming vapourwear, so they need to get some titles out.

dx8+9 were vaporware for a while too when they came out most games came out in dx7

I agree. To me DirectX 10 is just the new "Shader Model 3."
