LFS Gets DirectX 9 (Test Patch LFS E12, Now E14)

[[TC]»Pete«]

Mirrors now have Antialiasing!

E14 is out: https://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=84776

It's locked to 60 fps in windowed mode, because aero has vsync forced. The old dx8 version wasn't locked probably because aero doesn't support dx8 fully. Some people have reported the dx8 version locking at 60 as well, but I think that was caused by drivers.

As for priorities, dx9 means LFS can properly support the occulus rift, using the official shaders. The rift support has already brought new players to lfs, and general consensus so far seems that LFS already has the best rift/3d support of any driving game.

The whole rift thing seems to have got Scawen inspired to work on lfs again, and he has said that he'll get back to the physics once the rift support is sorted and he's ironed out the dx9 bugs.

Glad to see the LFS team are getting into gear! Pushing out some nice and well needed updates *hurhur*

Anyone else faced with setups corruption after using E14 patch?
Got mostly all of my precious setups gone.

My only problem is that it once changed XFG sounds for RB4.

ANd now my biggest problem is that it doesnt save my Screen settings in lfs so i need to set them up on almost every time i restart LFS. It is annoying to do as i have 2 screens and i need to set them up always after i dled this "patch".

I'd hate to be afterwise but they ARE test patches... Back up your folders if you want to participate.

These patches really are TEST patches, NOT official patches! That means they may have only been given a short test by me before they are posted. That means it's very likely that you will find bugs or problems. You install them at your own risk! Be warned that in some cases it will be hard to revert to your original LFS, you may lose settings or encounter any kind of problems that we can't predict. If you don't want to take the risk, please wait until the OFFICIAL patch comes out, or make a separate installation of LFS for testing purposes.
