I'd recommend trying it out. I have a low end machine and when DX11 1st came out I experienced the same issue.

But what does DX11 provide that DX9 doesn't?

Well DX11 provides a crash to desktop at the end of a match. It causes Win 7, 8, 8.1 to popup a control dialog asking you to change the color depth on your desktop, it stops the ability to alt-tab out of MWO to do other stuff like browse while waiting for a match... And many other delightful gameplay enhancing hijinks.

Stay DX9. I would occasionally freeze up in Mining Collective, but alt-tab fixed it. I'll take that anyday over the mess that DX11 brought.

Did anyone had to laugh watching this?

I instead said to myself, FAIL! Testing grounds would have been a better idea...

for me DX11 brought the visual quality up across the board. DX9 always seemed kinda washed out. Seeing stuff out in the distance was very hard. With DX11 everything seems so much clearer. I can make out finer details at longer ranges. No changes to my video settings other wise.

FPS certainly took a hit but I with sync on i sit at 60 all the time anyway.

if they can get an updated SLI profile that works better, that would be awesome.

Wonder if the LOD fix will fix the intersection in the tunnels of Crimson? Always see walls around there popping in and out.

Oh I sure hope so. That is the worst of the terrain bugs as it will actually hide 'Mechs as they come down the tunnel until they pop into existence.

Stalker is wonderful. Once you go Stalker, there's no going back to any pseudo-realistic FPS games.

Fixed issue where large groups would erroneously be broken up between lances.

I'm glad to see this; now, what about being able to assign large groups into Lance's prior to launch in PUG matches? Thank you for fixing this, gang.

[IRNBRU]

Any chance you could start patching earlier? This is the second time this week where I'll not be able to get any game time (((((

3 hour "Hotfix"

[Alienized]

was a terrible evening. done 4 battles and lost them all because the PUG's had no sense for teamplay but *group up and die like stupid because we stare at one point in front of us while camping*

[Tavus von Stahl]

3 hours for a hot fix? That's almost 3 times the average downtime for a full patch.

[Appogee]

Seeming more like a coldfix

[SgtMagor]

super secret sneak sale for new mechs?

[Deathlike]

If the servers suck less after this downtime, we'll be better for it.

Comstar we have a PROBLEM...............................

Somone send for a precept to administer a litany on the PGI server.

ether that or someone send PGI a link to a stopwatch site, maybe even a sit-rep would be nice for all those people who have premium time burning.

[Red Sea]

Cry when they fix it, cry when they dont, if your not happy go play candy crush, I hear they have fast hotfixes.
