Hello,

I'm one of those persons who multibox frequently and I don't use the launcher for it. My question is what command-line parameter I can use to forcibly use DX9 on my clients, please.

/triPlatform=dx9 ought to do the trick.

You might get better results running with DX11, though - it generally uses less memory and in our tests usually runs slightly faster as well.

I haven't tested my clients on DX11 yet. How many do you box with, whats your videocard, and did you have any noticeable problems with DX11?

Any way to detect if you are using DX9 or DX11 when you have started the game, please?

Hit Control+F for the FPS graph, it will tell you if you are running the DX9 or DX11 client

I tried this but it opens up another window for each client I am trying to open, some kind of debug window. Is there anyway to force dx9 without that appearing?

It doesn't work forcing DX9 with /triPlatform=dx9, unfortunately. Any ideas, devs?

These are the parameters I use: " /triPlatform=dx9 /end /LUA:OFF"

What do you mean, doesn't work? Is it still showing dx11? Or is it not running?

/triPlatform=dx9
is do the trick. But it also start some kind of debug window, and if I close this window - game are closing too.
Can I force DX 9 without this window? Maybe some kind of second part program or something. I using GeForce 780GTX.

P.S.: The whole problem: In game, at dx11 mode, is some kind of GUI lag. After pressing Esc, settings window open not immediately with 0,3-0,5 sec delay. As well as other GUI windows. And as more game windows I load, then more lag. Normaly I playing with 4 accounts started.
You can see difference with this video I made (First is DX11, than after 28 sec - DX9. You can see DX mode at FPS screen): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZijAqTV_0no

Got an Issue too. Prior Patch all was fine running dx11. After the patch I had an awesome misdrawn Mapscreen with double Lines and blurred Dots (for how many Pilots in system etc...). I switched to dx9 = no errors, map perfect drawn. Same trouble with the solar map screen too.

Finally I get rid of this console.
Just use: /noconsole /triPlatform=dx9
Thanks to Druson Zod from Rubicon - Issues thread.

Thanks very much this works excellent.

Btw theres a lot less performance for me with dx11 and multiboxing several Clients. Dx9 works just fine and a lot smoother.

Main Client has High except for

Shadow Quality - Low

The rest has fairly low settings with scouts med shader and med level of detail.
