ExtremeTech: Your game is currently scheduled for a 2006 release, DX10 is coming with Vista in January 2007 (if it doesn't get pushed back). Do you hope to have DX10 support out of the box, so users that upgrade to Vista and a DX10 graphics card can immediately enjoy the benefits? Or will DX10 support come in a patch?
Godager: We already have a limited DX10 support in the game. Given that Vista is in beta now, we will expect to see changes all the way up to launch. Supporting DX10 before everything is settled with the driving DX10 platform will most likely be a risk for us, so we will want to wait until Vista launches and patch it out then. Seeing that Age of Conan is a Vista showcase game, this also factors into this.
