Why was the decision taken not to support DirectX9?
Just Cause 2 is an incredible looking title with one of the most richly detailed landscapes ever seen in a computer game, and to achieve this on the PC,
the minimum specification includes a DirectX 10-compatible graphics card and operating system. The DirectX 10 and 10.1 APIs have allowed us to achieve an
unparalleled level of visual quality, adding features and routines that simply would not be possible under DirectX 9. As a result, the graphical and
performance gains have allowed us to create a game which raises the bar significantly in PC gaming and offers the player one of the most immersive and
enjoyable gaming experiences.
