OMG. How to start in DX9/10 or 11.

[Simplicity4]

On the menu that opens at start-up right-click to create a short-cut to either DirectX11 or DirectX9/10. I can't believe this wasn't advertised somewhere. One of the best new features in G+K.

If only it worked.

It does work. That's good for people who use desktop shortcuts.

Every time it enter civ5 from the "dx11" desktop shortcut it asks if I want to start in dx9 or dx11. It doesn't work for me. (Is there a code you enter into steam? I tried /dx11 in launch options but that only worked for a couple months before deciding not to cooperate any more.)

Here's the code for a DX11 launch - "-applaunch 8930 \dx11"

I figured it out by creating a desktop shortcut and then examining the shortcut.

Thank you! Works brilliantly.

Why would they advertise this?
I would hardly call something that's been there for a year and a half a "new" feature of G&K.

It stopped working for a long period of time apparently.
