I is lost!

direct X is graphics technology that PC games use to produce their graphics. Microsoft makes it so it is only on Pc, this is one of the main reasons macs do not get every games PCs get. As you can guess, DirectX 9 is what games have been using for a long time. But Microsoft has recently brought out DirectX 10 and DirectX 11 that are capable of doing many more things and have a ton of better features. The only problem is that games using DirectX 10 usually have high system requirements. DirectX 11 is only supported by ATI's 5xxx series and Nvidia's GTX 4xx series. I hope this helped.  :-\

DirectX 9 was released in 2002, that is an 8 year old technology. It has to be phased out eventually.

It shouldn't be phased out when people are still using it though. people with XP can't go above DX9.

At some stage technology has to move forward...

They could have easily supported DX9 while still supporting DX10 and 11. A ton of games do it.

UPDATE: Battlefield 3 is leaving DX9 behind. That's right, Battlefield 3 will only support DX10 and DX11. Sorry XP owners. This is somewhat good news for PC gamers since consoles can only do DX9, there is a hope that Battlefield 3 will be built differently for the PC. It is also a sign that the requirements might be pretty high, as if Bad Company 2's weren't already.

So what's the ETA on our Pokemon match?

On a more serious note, that sounds pretty bad. All of the cables in my house are hidden, besides the surround sound speakers. Having cables all along my floor would drive me crazy.

I don't think it will go down either but it just seems less and less used and liked. The only edge they have is in-game chat really. I used to use it a lot but now only for the rare chat and counting the hours I piss away on games.

It is also the only program (to my knowledge) that tracks most games and allows in-game chat for every game it supports. I also love how you can take screenshots, videos, and actually stream live video from a game you are playing so others can watch you.

I saw this in a system broadcast message. Doesn't really concern me either way, I find I'm using X-Fire less and less. I don't think it was as big as it once was.
I don't think they will shut down X-fire though. Over one million users sign into X-fire everyday. I would say it is still pretty big and there is plenty to profit from.

X-fire is simply the best gaming and communication program around. It would be sad to see it go under. There are other substitutes but none have as many features or are as polished as x-fire.

Games & Programming / X-Fire sold.

Viacom has sold X-fire. While there is no official press release or information as to who has bought it at this time, an ex x-fire team member has said that Titan Gaming has bought X-fire. Remember, the buyer is unofficial, but X-fire was definitely sold.

@spanky, EA announced that there will be a beta key included in every version of Medal of Honor limited addition.

Beta key for what? The PC version? So far there's nowhere that says that Battlefield 3 will come out for PS3 and XBOX. Wikipedia is pretty up-to-date on these things and it doesn't mention it.

They'll use a newer version of the engine and they hopefully learned a lot from BC & BC2 (Which is probably one of the reasons why they made those games, since it's been so long since BF2, to test the waters and making a game on consoles and PC. The more I think of this aspect, the more brilliant it seems. While gamers are bitching about either BC or BC2, EA and DICE are raking in all that information and feedback to make BF3 a multiplatform game that will do what BF2 did for PC gamers.) that it will be great.

Knight, it's funny that you seemingly don't continue to play any of those. *EDIT* Knight, fuck you for making me make an ass of myself. I just looked over at X-Fire and you're playing Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2.
There's no way. Why would they give beta keys to people who buy the console version? Most console gamers do not have a PC capable of playing recent games. That would be a giant waste of keys. it also says that for Xbox you need a live gold membership to participate in the beta. So it's pretty for sure. I'll say it again, there has never been a game with the same scale as BF2 on consoles and it seems impossible It also has to have good graphics or people will bitch about them. It could possibly be a good game (BC2 is) but it won't live up to Battlefield 2.

by the way, if everyone was mistaken, wouldn't EA have corrected them by now? every major gaming news source is saying this.

EDIT: @ Kinight, I didn't know you played the STALKER games. :0

So basically you want a BF2 clone with better graphics? How is that fun? Other than the vehicles and mods BF2 is possibly the WORST shooter Ive ever played. The hit boxes and shooting mechanics are - for lack of a better term - broken, if I can sit there and get 3 straight head shots on some one with ANY GUN and not kill them, the game is flawed. If they made a game with a similar play style as BF2 with the shooting mechanics of say COD4, that game might be worth my time. And you do know that developers can optimize a game engine to run its best on each platform individually right?
No. I want a game that won't be held back by a shitty game console. That is all I want. if it is possibly the worst shooter you have ever played, you have not play many shooters.
yes, they can optimize it, but will they? They didn't do a good job with BC2.

@spanky, EA announced that there will be a beta key included in every version of Medal of Honor limited addition.

I just hope they announce that the PC version will be different.

That's lame. Bad Company isn't a continuation of the Battlefield series, it's more of a silly story. That's what it was from the beginning. It's not called Battlefield 3: Bad Company. It's a story with a multiplayer aspect attached. Why wouldn't EA and DICE go for multiplatform support when their engines can do it? Just because Bad Company was more of a story with smallish maps doesn't mean Battlefield 3 won't live up to the series expectations.

Show me the last console game that supported everything battlefield 2 supported? You can't. It can't be done on consoles. Jets, tanks, ACPs, helicopters, 64 players, huge maps. No console game can support all that along with decent looking graphics. You cannot make a true sequel to Battlefield 2 if it is also going to be on consoles. As for the part about their engines, the engine that runs BC2 is mediocre at best, how can we expect anything different this time around? BF3 uses the same engine as BC2, just an update.

That is unless they announce that the games for PS3 and 360 are going to be completely different from the PC version.

[uninformed]I have a basic understanding of what you guys are saying but I would have never thought it out unprovoked. Just gonna throw that out there before I ask this:

I've heard nothing but negativity about BF:BC2 on the PC. I played the Beta on the PS3 (thanks Sniper... I think it was you), and I really enjoyed it. Could it be said/argued that - although I agree with PC superiority - the console versions for such games as BC2 are more critically acclaimed or better? Meh, I'll throw some tags on this post.[/uninformed]

I own BC2 for PC and love it. It is a good game. But it is a console port and considered not a legit entry in the Battlefield series by most PC gamers., this is why- Battlefield is supposed to be about huge maps with a lot of players. BF 2 supported up to 64 players ,and if you get a mod you can go beyond that. But instead they gave us BC2 that has a 32 player max, no lean, no prone, terribly optimized for PC, and no mod tools.  Battlefield 2 is one of the most critically acclaimed games of all time. It has sold more than BC2 would ever dream of. Everyone expected battlefield 3 to be a PC exclusive designed to be the best FPS ever, instead we get this multiplatform shit.

Also, to throw this out there, the PC version of BC2 has sold more than the 360 and PS3 versions so it's not like the console versions are the only thing making them money.

All the money is in the consoles though, why would they bother spending time on pc side of things?

Not exactly, because almost every single PC gamer would pick up an exclusive Battlefield 3, because almost every single PC gamer owns Battlefield 2. Console fans just want to play run n gun no skill shooters. MAG is the only game that tried to be like BF2 on consoles and it didn't do too well. This is as much of a stab in th back as MW2 was. With the no dedicated servers and what not.

The only way this can be saved in my opinion is if it comes out that they are making a completely separate game for PC with differed devs and a different engine. The frostbite engine runs like shit on PC judging by Bad Company 2. Make it like Battlefield 2 where they released a crappy version for consoles.
