Engine upgrade and DX12 coming to ETS2 and ATS!

[flight50]

I read a little about about DX12 ultimate a few months. It does offer a plus side indeed. It's the newest release of DX12 as of 2020, so good question if that's getting implemented or just standard DX12. Considering SCS is just now going DX12, it's definitely an option or future upgrade option.

I figured, that they may as well go for the newest iteration instead of having to update the engine twice. I am not knowledgeable about this topic, though, so I’ve no idea how much work going from DX12 to Ultimate actually is. I’m sure they know what they’re doing, but nevertheless, I just hope we’ll see it soon.

friends scs software directx11 deletion means not getting updates, which means that it means serious trouble for scs, which means that scs software means serious money loss, which means that scs software means serious loss of money, which means that when you say I will improve the graphics, scs software will not be from the audience in your hand. now think about it, directx 11. You have 1 card, directx12 performance loss, maybe there was a problem that could cause cramps, okay, it doesn't matter if it's multi-core, but if directx11 is deleted, it doesn't matter, but if directx11 is deleted, those who take that card will not receive updates again, neither can we get map renewal nevada nor arizona, just because we will get directx 12 with ultimate reflections, no one will be able to play comfortable games.

areas where scs software will have trouble:
1.directx11.1 deleted players will not buy scs software's map dlc boycotts the newly released map dlc

2.directx12 will make those who want ultimate mirroring happy, but this situation will make scs software, which will have a very rare audience, leave the diretcx11.1 audience upset.

3.serious money will be lost scs software will be on the verge of bankruptcy, they will come to the brink of bankruptcy, they will find neither financing nor financing, they will be even from the bread in hand.

4. scs software may lose its audience while trying to release games with great visuals for consoles

5.directx11.1 what was the problem, you are talking about deletion can not be binary
or if you don't, you will have made a game with a serious reaction money loss, no one will shop from you comfortably just because you switched to diretcx12 for the console.

scs software do you not make the multicore engine binary, for example diretcx11/directx12 until the map reconfiguration is finished, at least you will make two audiences happy until the map reconfiguration is finished, even if you do this, it brings money.
you're a player winner

You did not understand? Early next year, Steam will lose support for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1. Almost 95% of people already use Windows 10 or Windows 11, which means that at least those people have a video card that already supports DirectX 12.

Upgrade your hardware then.....problem solved. You seriously can't expect SCS to stick with old technology when everything around us is evolving. That's kinds selfish thinking. Things contantly change and SCS must follow. There are by far more people that can run DX12 than those that can't. You can't continue to hold the vast majority back any longer in favor of those that cannot move forward. Updates cease for those DX11 only players but the game is still functional. If you want to advance....upgrade, whats the point of debate. Either move ahead or stay behind, your choice.

Gaming simply will not evolve with that mindset. Updates to everything happen for a reason. Computers, graphics cards, cel phones, etc. They all evolve. People in general evolve, why shouldn't SCS.

@Marcello Julio It's no use m8. People tried explaining but they wont listen.

[Marcello Julio]

@parasaurolophus67 Yes. This reminds me of the same thing when migrating from DirectX 9 to DirectX 11.

[flight50]

Yep dx9 to dx11, fmod and the lighting update all got tons of push back on each but people evolved with all 3 and you don't hear the push back anymore really. Time waits for no one. Either evolve or stay behind.
