DirectX11 support in ISBoxer/Inner Space now in public testing!

[Babysir]

I had the same issue Frostie where it would only open one when I went back to the original. You can easily fix this by going back into the configuration and putting -d3d9 in the main executable parameters.

Lax: I did experience an error while running this on my system 9600GT SLI. It loaded the clients just fine, but then when I switch from one wow window to another it would lock up and the clients would be black windows. I am using two separate profiles since I have the main screen rendered by one card and the remaining 4 clients rendered by the second. I'm not sure if that had anything to do with the error.

im back to D3D9 too... too bad

the problem when using DX11 on my setup is the same problem i encountered when playing solo
when i have the graphics set to ultra everything is fine and even better with dx11 but when multiboxing that lowers my FPS

when im boxing i have my slaves set to low, and my main char to good
but when using dx11 and using the settings as good i get tearing and black screens :S

setup is Q6600@3ghz, 8gig ram, gtx260xxx 1gig.

Just thought i'd add that I noticed quite a considerable performance drop when enabling this as per instructions at the top of the page. Also the graphics dont look as crisp as before, in fact very slightly blurry, anyone else notice this? Running a GTX480 1.5gb gfx card

Had to put my graphics down from Good to Fair to re-gain performance... am i doing something wrong?

Edit: And changing back to the original Innerspace settings and install has now prevented Innerspace from launching any more than one instance of WOW? Any ideas?

All you had to do was change the -d3d11 switch to -d3d9 as explained in my post. WoW saves the setting to config.wtf (thus why it's still in d3d11 mode and not launching more than one instance in the non-dev build without d3d11 support), but the command-line parameter overrides it (thus being the recommended method).

SLI is bad mmkay. If you're in SLI, I don't think plugging monitors into the second card is going to have any particular advantage. If you have the display selection set in Inner Space this is one of the features that my post explains is not currently implemented anyway -- you'd have to set the monitor via the option in WoW instead. And disable SLI.

Tearing I believe is supposed to be solved by enabling VSync, in WoW's advanced video settings panel. I don't have an answer as to why you would get black screens, but if I'm interpreting what you said correctly you also get this black screen problem without Inner Space and therefore it's probably not my fault?

Thanks for the feedback guys, I can try to reproduce some of these issues by fiddling with the game options but I imagine I might have to test separately on NVIDIA hardware, etc. Either way, even if this support goes into the live build you can still run d3d9 :P

Just to let you know I've been running a DX11 ATI Radeon 5750 (or something similar, can't remember exactly) powering two monitors / 5 toons and I've got a nice 10 FPS boost on my main (all video settings set to ultra) with DX11, making Dalaran bearable again, so thanks very much!

Haven't tried DX11 through IS but running solo on my laptop 5730 I am getting players and objects moving around with black textures. Sometimes when I load new areas the majority of things will be black and I have to reloadui.

I am using this on a 5850 with dx11. I think I might have had a slight drop in frame rates at very low graphics settings. But I'm going to up the settintgs a bit and see what happens. I am running my main wow window at 1900x1200 (I lowered this from like 2100x1200, and the frame rate is a lot better.

[Vociferate]

I gained a ton of performance with this.

I can run through Org & other main cities at 50FPS.


Cheers heaps!

Don't have specific numbers, but my wow windows feel a lot more responsive with the change.
5x windows @ 2560x1600 across 2 screens and 2 graphics cards.
From being laggy on HH runs to awesome rift destruction now. And the Dalaran experience is the smoothest its ever been.
edit: running on: i7 940 @ 4GHz, GTX480(main) + GTX285(alts), 12GB DDR3 RAM and a 128GB SSD
