L.A. Noire PC gets a DX11 Patch

DSOGaming writes: "Now here is a nice surprise. A few hours ago, Rockstar released a new patch for the PC version of L.A. Noire. This new patch adds DX11 support to this unique third person adventure game and it improves performance on many Windows Vista and Windows 7 setups using DX11 graphics cards."

cool more developers need to add DX11 support for better performance even if they aren't going to add any DX11 effects.

DominicTarason5210d ago

Unfortunately, while DX11 support is nice, this patch also inexplicably removes some previously-supported screen resolutions, including the (perfectly valid, and native on many screens) 1360 x 768, which is a standard 16:9 format.

I now have to run the game at 1280 x 720, upscaled to my monitor.

iamgoatman5210d ago

That's a bit silly. Is there no config file where you can manually input your resolution?

I have a 50% off Steam coupon for Rockstar games from XMas. I'm hoping they have a sale on this before it expires.

Ducky5210d ago

Don't those coupons expire soon?

The game itself was 50% off during the winter sale.

RAYMEISTER5210d ago

That's nice but it would be better if it was properly supported at release. Look at Crysis 2, Batman Arkham City, etc.. Horrible or no dx11 support at release which hurts PC sales and infuriates the PC gamer who were supporting their product on release. Sometimes it's too little too late, but this IS a nice surprise. Everyone loves nice graphics.

Rawr, I'm so angry.

dirthurts5210d ago

Does the DX11 improve visual quality or simply add performance? Either well, it's a welcome addition. Really unexpected considering their poor support of the pc platform. Trying to win the fanbase back perhaps?

john25210d ago

Only offers better performance

dirthurts5210d ago

Thanks for the info.
Still interesting they added it. Perhaps experimentation for a future release?

stevenhiggster5210d ago (Edited 5210d ago )

Thats completely wrong I'm afraid. In most cases it'll make your performance worse! Because it adds so much eye candy.
It vastly improves visual qaulity.

Example, watch from about 1:30 and you'll see some astounding differences over dx9.

@stevenhiggster

I was reffering to L.A. Noire DX11. Not DX11 in general ;)

stevenhiggster5209d ago

Fair enough I rescind my comment. I thought you were talking about dx11 in general.

Hopefully McNamara is as far away from this as possible he set up shop in Australia then did nothing but complain about Australian labour laws while trying to make his workers live at the office working 24/7 on la noire punishing them for leaving at 3 am and being 10 minutes late to work at 9am the next day.

It's astonishing that none of the workers went to the fair work ombudsman as the studio would have been fined astronomical numbers

porkChop684d ago

Brendan McNamara is a brilliant writer and director but he should never, ever be in charge of a studio. What he did to those devs was far beyond "crunch", and it went on for, what, 7 years? That's insane.

But I'm glad to see some of that team have come together again to create something new. A psychological thriller sounds right up my alley.

anast684d ago

I would have liked to see a new noir game.

I been enjoying LA noire my first time playing it the vibe is🔥
