Will Starcraft 2 support Directx 11?

AFAIK the first game (Wings of Liberty) won't support DirectX11 initially. The other two Xpack might, and if they will I think Blizzard will patch-in DX11 support for WoL also (if it's even doable).

I have little knowledge on the subject, so if I'm talking out of my ass, please someone correct me.

What is special about DirectX 11 that would make it good to be supported? (honest question, I ain't keeping up to date on this topic as of late)

Dunno if this means much, but maybe interesting.

http://starcraft.incgamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3003&page=2
I think it will be early 2010 atleast, there was just a launcher patch for World of Warcraft, a socalled "tools" update.

Some users have gotten Starcraft 2 related error messages, and i decided to take a look myself, and i found a lot of Starcraft 2 related strings(With translations, which i won't post):

Strings:
SC2Title - Starcraft II
OptionsTitleSC2 - When patch data for StarCraft II is available:
DownloadWhileRunningDetailSC2 - Starts the Blizzard Downloader in background mode when you launch StarCraft II. The Downloader will continue running until you exit the game or until download is complete.
DownloadWhilePlayingSC2 - Download while playing StarCraft II
ownloadUntilCompletionDetailSC2 - Starts the Blizzard Downloader in background mode when you launch StarCraft II. Download will continue until complete, even if you exit the game.
AfterRunningDetailSC2 - Starts the Blizzard Downloader in background mode when you exit World of Warcraft. The Downloader will continue running until you launch the game again or until download is complete.
DownloadAfterExitingSC2 - Download after exiting StarCraft II
ChooseRetailFolderSC2 - Select the place to create the StarCraft II folder.
AutoPatchFailureSC2 - Cannot apply new patch to StarCraft II.
Product - SC2B

Support for Expansions/Mods, new archive format, or atleast new extension:
Mods/Core.SC2Mod/Base.SC2Data
Mods/Liberty.SC2Mod/Base.SC2Data
Mods/Swarm.SC2Mod/Base.SC2Data
Mods/Void.SC2Mod/Base.SC2Data

Patches:
%s/patch.SC2Archive

Probably an internal developement URL to some SC2 specific stuff:
MainURLSC2 http://bl-backpack/Launcher/SC2/

So it looks like they'll be using the WoW Launcher, probably making it a generic "Battle.net launcher" of sorts, and for some reason they decided to push it as a patch now, unless people just never expected to find it in there

Hmmmm...very interesting.

I have not been at all convinced by the supposed "2010 Beta" rumors, and this would tend to lend credence to the idea that we're going to see Beta significantly before then. Now, this in and of itself doesn't give us any definite an idea of the time until Beta...but it's definitely a good sign.

The longer they take on it, the better the game should be.

All those things we ask for where they answer "That's on our list of things to do, if we have time." They're doing those things. Things like online replays perhaps (cross fingers).

Hmmm, infestor will be critical in anti-air in the post scourge age by doing the same thing as DA against zerg.

Do we know what happens if a dropship/overlord/phase prism are mind controlled? Are the units inside stuck? Do they become controlled by the zerg who casted the spell? I can only imagine how lame it would be to have your dropship mind controlled by a burrowed infestor and then flown into enemy territory and shot down with a full load of troops inside. Atleast you can see the scourge coming and try to dodge them or pull back.

Destructible rocks and such aren't so different from the XelNaga Temples in sc1 are they?
Just something to slow your army down and get in the way.

I doubt they would change it from how it worked is SC1. That mechanic was fine.

New blue posts:

About visual changes after upgrades, also BC "specializations" and E Bay upgrade for Bunkers:

http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=21333737768
"Yes, I can confirm that some units get visual upgrades when you boost them through research.
Zerglings, Marines and Banelings are just some examples though, as there are other units that are getting a visual upgrade.

For example, Battlecruisers have the ability to choose between three specializations:
- Defensive Matrix (a shield that absorbs damage)
- Missile Pods (Air to Air AoE damage)
- Yamato Cannon (honestly, do I need to introduce this one? )
Each one of these specializations changes the graphic of the battlecruisers, thus making it easily recognizable.
Just to clarify things up: you can only have one specialization per Battlecruiser, and once you choose you cannot switch to another one.

But not only units are affected by this visual upgrades, even buildings are being visually upgraded.
Let's talk about Bunkers: when the NeoSteel Frame upgrade is completed (+2 cargo space) the bunker actually gets bigger and taller."


NEW poll about mu we'd like to see in next Battle Report:
http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=21559815862

"In the last four Battle Reports, you've seen the following matchups: Protoss vs Terran, Zerg vs Terran, Protoss vs Zerg and Terran vs Protoss. Which race matchup would you most want to see in future Battle Reports?"
