DirectX11 should really not be called Direct3D, reason in this thread. At least explain it's DirectX11 in the toolbox Tongue

oh thanx for the link..i know Dx11 is better
but alot of games work better with Dx9

so that means no more suffer with DX11?

Dx9 has been removed so the other backends can be improved which they couldn't already because DX9 has been holding them back.

It has been renamed to Direct3D because noobs were confused about how it also supported Direct3D10 GPUs and "Direct3D 10/11" would've technically been incorrect because.. well, it's Direct3D11 :p

So if that's the case, then how come only d3d9 displays Link correctly in skyward sword?

If both D3D11 and OpenGL have a problem, you can use an older build and use D3D9. It's simple.

Because we have no idea what you're talking about and you haven't reported a bug about it.

Fwiw drhycodan, if you're referring to this issue EFB2RAM completely avoids getting a "Half-Link" on any backend, according to the wiki. D3D9 isn't a requirement to properly emulate that portion of the game, although EFB2RAM can be demanding for some hardware.
