It made developing in UE3 a bit of a nightmare at times, especially when downscaling a project to DX9, only to find that it couldn’t do a lot of what you were doing in DX11. Besides, we still have UE3 for exactly that reason! I’m personally glad for the single renderer. It’s just down to the way the engine and the new renderer works.
It would be if it was possible, but it just isn’t. Allowing it to run in DX9 or DX10 mode will be a good start. Honestly they should have minimum specs for people who can’t afford a powerful computer. Yeah I understand, I was just hoping I could get through with the basics with the Unreal Engine 4 and when I get into developing actual fancy levels when I get a new computer. I believe the saying is “don’t bring a cocktail stick to a sword fight.” It’s like trying to play Battlefield 4 on Ultra on an old laptop, there are somethings that are simply not possible if the engine is to make any real progress. Due to the approachability of Epic (which is no bad thing, you guys are awesome), people sometimes forget that they are working with industry-standard tools here, and the best of them at that. While you’re right on it cutting some peoples ease-of-access, it’s a fairly unrealistic ambition to develop on an under-equipped system, especially if you’re serious about development. Things like GPU particles are also fairly integral now. I’m 99% sure that DX11 will remain the only supported renderer, simply because a huge proportion of the engines selling points are DX11-only features, like the reflection system.
