Nice to hear the engine is up to date, but this is exactly the reason I suggested earlier to rename this tread to timeframe on advanced lighting
It's all about that and it is not necessarily DX version dependend.
At least tesselation should make for some even rounder pop bumpers...

With FS indicating that they hoped XBone would be out prior to the holidays and season 2 not out on PS4. I would bet it will be at least well into next year before it shows up on the PC.

From how it sounded, it was just a formality to put it on PC once the One version was done. But given how long it takes to approve via MS, does that mean we'll see it just shy of the One's platform launch, or does their exclusivity screw around PC users as well as PS4 users?
I think we have to focus on the engine guy, not xbone or ps4 releases. As I see it, the engine guy is done with the xbone version and has time to work on the PC now. Xbone still needs tuning and certification but there's nothing left to do for the engine guy. Bobby King told us few weeks ago, that he spoke to the engine guy to work on the pc version now. Once he is finished with the new lighting, Mike can build a new Steam release. Season 2 exclusivity on Xbone only affects PS4. Am I right? Mike knows the answer. Is he willing to tell us? I don't know.

Sounds reasonable, but as stated before I guess there's some additional adjustment to be done for each table. Now every light bloom effect is faked in the post processing. This has to be removed or at least tuned down. Just switching out the engine would be too easy.

My understanding is exclusivity is PS4/Xbox One only. I'm not the business person so I don't know the details. Also, all seasons are out on Steam, so a lighting update isn't really the same as content release.

Well, I emailed Bobby this morning following up on what he said in the interview. I'll let you guys know when I hear back.

He never emailed back. Not a good sign...

Just emailed him again and got a quick reply back:
"I asked Mike R and James for an update. They're both swamped, but DX11 should be high on the to-do list. I'll let you know when I have some kind of estimate."
So it doesn't sound like it'll be any time soon :/
