Microsoft finally pushed me off of the Windows platform for good with this stunt and GWX.
(I do regret not starting refusing to do this sooner.)
I was still foolish enough to do volunteer work on other peoples’ Windows computers at that time, even after what Microsoft did to me as a fan of the first Halo game. The first (and so far only) game to gain DX12 support in Windows 7 is World of Warcraft, enabled with the 8.1.5 patch. Others were probably playing Counter-strike Source and TF2. So I went and played other games, like Tremulous and Urban terror, games that ran on Windows, Mac and Linux, and I forgot all about Halo 2 for the PC. On these machines, a vista upgrade would have been a performance downgrade. It just wasn’t a compelling deal!Īlso worth noting that many systems that would have otherwise run Halo 2 were hardware-limited to only 1 or perhaps 2GB of memory. Being smarter than to pay $200 for an unnecessary OS upgrade, only to then wind up needing an accompanying memory upgrade too because Vista ran poorly in 1 GB, (which was blissful on XP), just to play an at the time 3 year old game which was originally designed for a six year old piece of hardware, (Xbox) I passed. Many of us were really looking forward to the PC version. DirectX 12 is licensed as freeware or free, for Windows 32 bit and 64 bit operating system without restriction.Yep, it reminds me of Halo 2.

But, if you want to update the version of DirectX, you need to download it manually. All modern Windows operating systems include DirectX by default, so you probably do need to install DirectX manually.
