Context & Notes

WIP!

1) Here's Aperill with details on using DirectX11 on the PBE:
"Hello everyone! 
Starting in Patch 10.11 players will now have the option to use DX11 instead of DX9 to run League of Legends. We'd like as many as people as possible to opt in so if you’d like to help test, please add the following line to your game.cfg file which can be found at Riot Games > PBE > Config. 
[General]
DX11BetaTest=1
To verify that DX11 is enabled there will be a line in your r3dlog that says “Using X3D Platform: DX11”. These logs can be found under PBE > Logs > GameLogs. 
If you encounter a crash or any rendering or graphical issues while using DX11, please report them by making a comment in this thread using the following format: 
Summoner Name:
Description of Issue:
Repro Steps: 
If your current hardware doesn’t support DX10 or higher, the game will automatically switch to DX9 if you have the flag enabled. If the flag is disabled or missing from your config the game will use DX9 by default. 
Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, you can also submit issues on the PBE discord. Thanks!
