DX11 Client (Beta) Steam

I have a LP computer so I need disable shadows but... If I run Path Of Exile under Steam and it show 2 options dialog, I select DX11 and POE always run with Low Shadow Quality but I cant change it to Off (only Low and High).

PD: I try to run POE directly (...\Steam\steamapps\common\Path of Exile\PathOfExile_x64Steam.exe), so Steam s*cks again... (okno x'D)


Sry for my bad english :P

intended, the DX11 client is for those that have the hardware to use it, if you can't deal with shadows then you should be using the dx9 version

what a narrow minded view ...

my PC can handle shadows but i don't want to see them.
the question is: why is GGG forcing something on us now that you could turn off before?

I have i7-6700 with Intel HD Graphics 530 (it supports DX12 native) and without shadows and all in low quality I have 50-60fps (playing in DX11 Beta client, no steam).

Only need change that Steam integration for allowing disable the shadows quality.

My dx9 performance is bad, probably 20% worse than ever, and overall the load times and crashes are bad.
That being said dx11 peformance is around 40% better performance than before so that is fantastic.

r9270x is the GPU im using.

I am also using a r9 270x graphics card.

As much I like DX11, my only problem is the head-centred light is more apparent in the outside realms and I believe a feature like matching the light that emanates from the character to the the ambience of the map to be a good idea; to make the lighting feel right again.

that would be a bit more convincing if, you know, ANYTHING ELSE THAN DX11 DIDN'T RESULT IN A FUCKING BLACK SCREEN.
