DirectX11 support now available
Inner Space 1.11 build 5332 adds initial DirectX11 support. Specifically, this will enable proper function of Inner Space and ISBoxer when the game being played is set to use DirectX11 -- previously, only DirectX8 and DirectX9 were supported; DirectX10 is not supported. DirectX11 ships with Windows 7 and can be installed on Windows Vista if you have Vista Service Pack 2 installed.
Switching to DirectX11 should improve performance over DirectX9 with the same settings, more so if your video card provides hardware support for DirectX10 or 11.
As of this edit, Inner Space 1.11 build 5372 is currently the LIVE build of Inner Space. There are no further requirements
To use DirectX11 in Lord of the Rings Online: select DirectX11 from the drop-down box in the in-game video options panel. You may need to do this in each ISBoxer window, and you will need to restart the game after changing this setting.
To use DirectX11 in World of Warcraft: there is a setting in Config.WTF but this setting would need to be applied to all of your virtual Config.WTF files. Until ISBoxer has this option built in for you, it is recommended that you use the command-line switch instead to select between DirectX11 and DirectX9. That is, you can add a -d3d11 or -d3d9 parameter to wow.exe through your Inner Space Game Configuration, as follows:
1. Right click the Inner Space icon in the system tray (notification area)
2. Select Configuration
3. Click the Game Configuration tab
4. Select World of Warcraft from the first drop-down box
5. Select World of Warcraft Default Profile (or your custom profile, whatever ISBoxer is configured to use per Character) from the second drop-down box
6. Make sure "Main executable filename" is wow.exe, NOT the WoW launcher. In the "Main executable parameters" box, put "-d3d11" with no quotes. To switch back later if needed, replace it with "-d3d9" with no quotes.
7. Click Apply to save your changes
8. Click Close Profile to back out of the Game Profile editing panel if you want, or just hide the Inner Space window; you're done.
Please report any further issues you experience with DirectX11 mode, particularly if the issue did not exist with DirectX9. Also, please report the disappearance of any issues from DirectX9 to DirectX11, such as the fake mouse cursor suddenly working (LOTRO + Windows 7 users, this means you!)
