Nothing? Unless you're a retarded cuck boomer which thinks newer = worse.

it's hardly used despite being like 15 years old now. How is that not a failure?

>What went wrong
Direct X 11 was popular and a ton of people didn't want to do the work to upgrade for a marginal benefit. Also anyone newer to graphics programing would rather learn openGL or Vulkan because they are cross platform.

Nothing, really. It's one of the few things from Microsoft that hasn't completely fallen apart.

Base 12 is 11 years old, ultimate released in 2021 or 2022 and literally every fucking game uses it.

D3D12 runs like dogshit in Talos Principle on my iGPU. Meanwhile, Vulkan runs like a dream, even more so on Linux.

>run worse than DX11 on average
>nobody knows how to implement it properly and commonly just ride off existing DX11 implementation
>mostly used for shitty graphical gimmicks that you stop giving a shit about after 30 seconds
And in the end it was really just an excuse to force people on W10-11, wouldn't be surprised if in the future, DX13 is W12 only.

directx has been very dependent on WDM since vista. DX10 was vista only. 11 run on vista and 7 because they share most of the WDM code. 11.1 - 11.3 were 7 and 8.1 only

So that's why I never heard of DX10 until now.

90% of games released are either DX12 or Vulkan.

Mostly because Unity and Unreal Engine 5 uses it by default (despite the fact they're half-assed implementation that rides on DX11 ones).

Only for the past few years. Before that you could easily backport UE5 games to DX11.
