Company of Heroes DX10 Patch is out

[Liquid]

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.

You feel like making some before and after shots Liquid? I'm curious to see how much of a difference the directx 10 changes make and my card is a long way from dx10 to try it myself.

Theres also a video that shows DX9 vs DX10 (It didnt show much)

Well, i tried to take some pics before and after but they looked the same to me (DX9 looks so nice anyway)
will have a better look at DX10 version soon.

Is there a comunity that i can play online with? I have the game but I will need someone to hook me up with the right patches. cheers

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

[Brutal]

I'd be keen for that, would be cool to play with some guys online. I dont think i have the same version as you guys though

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