timeframe on dx11

[pm1109]

Alright hopefully in my lifetime than lol

Maybe this has been answered over the previous year or so, but are the textures going to be updated at all with the DX11 upgrade? Much higher quality ones would be appreciated, and if there is going to be a toggle to fall back to DX9 for performance reasons, let people with the horsepower enjoy some higher quality textures.

Not only would higher resolution textures be appreciated, I think they should be high priority. The PC version is in dire need of some serious upgrades before it's too late.

My interest in TPA is almost zero at the moment. Hell, I'm even starting to load PFX2 back up!

 

[pm1109]

Really hope we see it before Christmas Time

I'd also highlight that the lack of quality or significant updates to the PC version has also caused me to reconsider on the TAF Kickstarter. And I'm not happy about that.

Something that may be common to other potential backers...

Which year?

Waiting for DX11 on the PC is nothing, think of those 9 Wii-U pinball fans.

And yes, i am one of them, i would not mind PBA on the Wii-U, off screen play would be fantastic, imagine having the rom screen and score on the gamepad while the table is on the TV, or portrait mode on the gamepad. so many possibilities.

Especially as some of us are planning on upgrading to a 4K monitor. Going to be pretty disappointed if the textures do not look pin-sharp on that.

How close are are getting to see a dx11 update on pc?

You might want to consider doing what this kid did.

You'll need a GPU that supports dx11 and the new lighting engine will demand more GPU power. However, you don't have to use the dx11 lighting. You'll still be able to use dx9.

You have been there!

 

[chinzman93]

You have been there!

Yes......yes I have. The future is a dark and desolate place where TPA Black Knight is stilled played without ROM emulation and mobile phones and tablets still do not have adequate processing power to emulate Capcom tables.

Also, from my experience, DX11 runs a bit faster than DX9 in general. Not sure what the performance will be like on PC yet.

Indeed, it should be interesting especially on low-end chipsets like the Atom Z3740. Maybe I will get lucky and even be able to turn ball reflections on, although I'm not sure if that is GPU, CPU, memory bandwidth bound or all the above.

Its just annoying to see Zen Pinball 2 work so well with ball reflections on my tablet but TPA cannot. Post processing and AA I can totally live without on that device, its just the flat textured balls that look odd, although it offsets a little if you use certain custom balls.

Does that mean that no work on the DX 11 PC version has been done yet?

We have DX11 running on PC, just not with all the high end lighting tech. Not sure where the engine guy is on that.
