Aurora Studios has announced that the DirectX12 client beta is now available for Windows 7 players in Ring of Elysium. In case you weren’t aware of, Ring of Elysium is a free to play Battle Royale game. Players will be able to opt-into using the DX12 client from the in-game settings menu. Moreover, and alongside the DX12 client beta a new LTM rotation event ‘Battle Rush’ has arrived for players.
According to the developers, the DX12 version will allow for faster frame rates as well as even more realistic visual effects. Players whose hardware meets the following minimum requirements will be able to select the DX12 client in-game. The minimum hardware requirements for the Win7 DX12 client are as follows:
- OS: Windows7 6.1.7601 and above
- Graphics card driver: 26.21.4.3615 and above (we highly recommend updating your graphics card driver to the latest version)
- Graphics card (Nvidia): GTX 750Ti, GTX 760, GTX 770, GTX 780, GTX 950, GTX 965, GTX 1060, 1660, 1660Ti, 1070, 1070Ti, 1080, 1080Ti, 2060, 2070, 2080, 2080Ti, GTX 1050Ti, GTX 1050, GTX 960, GTX 970, GTX 980, GTX 980Ti, Titan
With the arrival of the DX12 client beta comes an all-new limited-time mode rotation. From now until December 31, players will be able to participate in Battle Rush. Battle Rush brings new challenges for players each day of the week. The event will have players returning to the icy peaks of Mt. Dione, surviving from Dusk Till Dawn, and also battling in Ashen Eye mode.
Furthermore, a new mode arrives for players on Thursdays and Saturdays during Battle Rush, ‘Bombarded’. Taking place on Europa Island, the default weapon in Bombarded is the RPG-7 with RPG ammunition, grenades, armor, and healing items being the only additional items available on the map. Players will also have to move fast in Bombarded as zone times are slightly faster than in standard modes.
Players will also be able to experience past and new modes in the limited time Battle Rush event each day from 6:00 pm – 10:00 pm PST on NA servers, as well as from 6:00 pm – 10:00 pm GMT on EU servers and GMT+8 on AS servers.
