DirectX 11 and Compatible Video Card
**THIS IS NOT A THREAD COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS REQUIREMENT OR FOR YOU TO TELL ME HOW CHEAP/EASY IT IS TO UPGRADE A VIDEO CARD**
@ZOS_GinaBruno
I think it would be a good idea to send all TESO players an email alerting them about the upcoming requirement change. I can't be the only one playing on an old computer and thankfully found out when I tried to launch the PTS that my video card isn't DirectX 11 compatible. I know a lot of the TESO player base doesn't play PTS, read forums or keep updated on patch notes, so I think alerting everyone by email (and possibly on the launcher and login page) about the change will prevent players on old computers from getting a nasty surprise when they try to launch the game after downloading the TG patch.
FYI: trying to launch the PTS without a DirectX 11 compatible video card causes an immediate crash before the logos even play and the crash report box pops up.
Alerting everyone now means anyone with a similar problem has a month to sort out upgrades!
