Why don't you put down that kool-aid for a moment and we'll actually have a real chat ?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-I5TEpAnuEg  DX 11.2 was released with windows 8.1 since god damned OCTOBER. 

The API was ALREADY LIKELY supported since the X1 LAUNCHED. 


DX11.2 was released a month before the Xbox One shipped so the games that came out on it that had been in development for two years probably used it?

"DX11.2 was released a month before the Xbox One.." - and DX11.2 was in development for how long??

Did you understand my long post or chose to ignore it with a snide remark? Do you know that DX<any version> actually consists of TWO parts, a definition and an implementation part? Even if MS did not have a low-level IMPLEMENTATION part of DX11.2 (or equivalent driver in X1's case), they had the finished FUNCTION CALL part (and at least a high-level implementation part) essentially finalised months, if not 1-2 years before the start of X1. Whether that was usable or not we don't know, and we haven't really heard anyone complaining about missing driver-implementaion parts.
