[quote who="judisheshok" reply="2" id="2033010"] I have begun to mess around with combining them and I can get the main menu to pop up with the "Sins Plus v 1.3" blurb, so I know that superficially I have made that change in combining them.

[quote who="DeadMG" reply="5" id="2027886"]DirectX deals with so much more than OpenGL. As a professional development tool, I can't comment. However for games, DirectX does 3d, but also sound, input, and similar. Microsoft is also very supportive of prospective developers. Most importantly, since so much of the userbase runs Windows, there's little benefit to a Mac/Linux port.[/quote] Not fully true... let see about dx10... Direct input is depreca

[quote who="ManSh00ter" reply="13" id="2027481"]Hold on, you're saying Entrenchment eats up 2 gigs of RAM (the max Win XP allows per appliacation usually)? Because if its that memory intensive, then we all might just as well drop all mod efforts that go beyond stat tweaking. I'd say that it minidumps because there's a memory leak somewhere, not because of a few new models. Although granted, Vasari spamming ten million billion mines could be considered a memory leak too
