Hi question to the Ogre development team for Ogre 2.0+

Post by Johnathanamz »

Ok so this is a question I have had for the Ogre development team since at least 2011 or so.

I follow open source projects like OpenMW using Ogre to develop video games on.

Will you guys ever support DirectX 9.0c, DirectX 10, DirectX 10.1, DirectX 11, DirectX 11.1, DirectX 11.2, and DIrectX 12 please?

I know OpenGL and Vulkan works on both Windows and Linux, but since I use Windows only to play PC versions of video games I would lover very much if you guys added DirectX support please, lets not do exclusives of any one API, exclusives hurts everyone.

Lets have both OpenGL, Vulkan, and DirectX supported in Ogre for Windows.

Thank you very much Ogre development team for the time and effort you have put into developing this engine. I hope to see DIrectX support added in the future.

Wow ok for some reason I was so behind on this.

I do not know how I could have missed that Ogre supports DirectX at all.

Thank you very much for making me see the information.

Also Thank you guys very much for supporting Windows Vista and Windows 7, which Windows 7 this year MicroSoft ended support for but I still use, also I still use both Windows XP and Windows Vista on two other back up PC's I have.

I hope very much to see you guys continuing supporting Windows Vista and Windows 7 for many many more years to come.
