Hello Esenthel,

What is the minimum shader model requirement for the Esenthel 2.0 engine games to run on a Windows PC ?

Is shader model 2.0 good enough to run the games made with Esenthel 2.0 engine ? Will it limit some rendering features ? If so, then what features will be unusable on a SM 2.0 supported GPU ?

Will games made with Esenthel engine 2.0 run on video chips that do not support any shader model or SM 1.0 ?

Thanks,

Hi, minimum is 2.0, yes it will have some things disabled, like automatic filtering of shadows, or relief bump mapping. I don't remember about other things, but most will work the same, it's like 99% works.

Will it be automatic ? I mean if I am using shadow mapping or relief bum mapping and then the host GPU running the game only support SM 2.0 of DirectX , will there be any run-time error thrown by the Esenthel Engine 2.0 that I will have to handle on my own by writing custom code ?

Hi!
EE Will not throw any errors in that case, it will just use simpler effects, so no worries
