Windows-utgåvan av utmärkta #Deus Ex: Mankind Divided har begåvats med DirectX 12-stöd. Uppdateringen presenteras via en changelog på Steam, som berättar att DirectX 12-stödet inte påverkar utseendet alls, den är enbart avsedd att förbättra prestandan.

Men liksom många andra DX 12-titlar kan det variera kraftigt mellan olika datorer, något som också nämns i changeloggen. Våra vänner Sweclockers kommer sätta tänderna i spelet med DirectX 12-patchen installerad, och se om den gör någon nytta. Håll koll på Sweclockers i morgon för resultatet.

As of today, users are also able to utilize the awaited DirectX 12 Graphics API. To activate this you are required to do the following:

  • Within your Steam Library, right-click on Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.

  • Select ‘properties’ from the context menu and navigate to the Beta tab.

  • From the dropdown menu, select dx12_preview then close the window.

After the game has downloaded the DirectX 12 supported build you can then toggle DirectX 12 from either the launcher window or from the Display options within the game.
Note that DirectX 12 requires a restart of the game if (de-)activated from within a running Deus Ex: Mankind Divided game session.

o WARNING: Using the DirectX 12 API can offer better performance on some systems, however, it will not be beneficial on all.
o Multi-GPU is not yet supported in this patch.
o If you encounter problems with DirectX 12, we recommend turning it off again. There are no visual or gameplay differences between the two DirectX versions.
o As always, make sure that your drivers are up to date:

The following fixes are in this patch:

- Fixed a freeze that happened for some players during the subway loading scene.
- Fix for issue where massive stalls would occur in Prague.

- Fixed issue where tutorial messages could stay/re-appear on-screen after completing the tutorial.
- Fixed an issue where players could lose input control when hacking certain computers.
