Risen DirectX 9 or 10?

Hi I'm new,
After some searching, I decided to post my question on this forum, as it seems to be the most Risen-Oriented than most others on the internet.

Does the game support directX 10? If so, is it much better? I ask because I found that the graphics are highly dated, with scenery from G3 much more beautiful than Risen. I did however raise contrast and brightness by 20% and that did add more immersion.

So, DX10?
Thanks.

Welcome to our forum!

AFAIK Risen was only developed for DirectX 9.

Another thread shows how to tweak the graphics with the help of an .ini file. Higher viewing distance, AA, etc.

All this is not 100% understood yet because the game is still new.

I see. I am yet to try the graphics tweak.
