Great news! The long awaited and much anticipated DX10 patch comes out this afternoon 1PM Californian time for Company of Heroes.
The patch is available as of today and via game update or download.
DX10 Effects
- Per-pixel lighting for all objects
- Percentage Closer Filtering (PCF) shadows: Multi-tap PCF shadows utilize Shader Model 4.0 sample comparison functions for softer, more realistic shadows
- Shadows for omnidirectional point lights: supports up to 4 simultaneous point lights with shadows using DX10's render-to-cubemap and Geometry Shader functionality.
- Soft particles. Particle effects smoothly blend on contact with terrain and other objects improving visual quality.
- CSAA support (Coverage Sampling Antialiasing): CSAA produces antialiased images that rival the quality of 8x or 16x MSAA, while introducing only a minimal performance hit over standard MSAA.
- Short volumetric grass using DX10-instanced terrain shells
- DX10-instanced foliage and ambient objects
- DX10 alpha to coverage (transparency antialiasing)
PLEASE NOTE: The DX10 patch will be available via the in-game download/update feature. UPDATE: the 1.7 patch is also now available from http://www.nzone.com you can get to it directly here.

Well, i tried to take some pics before and after but they looked the same to me (DX9 looks so nice anyway)

Happy and I play company of heroes - opposing fronts.
If there are others that play it we could organise some games over the net?

I obtained the gold version a while back so have both versions. Will be keen to get smashed by fellow KSR members.
