Company of Heroes DX 10 Patch

Posted on | June 1, 2007 | 1 Comment

Company of Heroes patch 1.7 has gone live, making Company of Heroes the 1st DX10 game in the World! Too bad I’m still using a Geforce 7900 card and won’t benefit that much with this update and not to mention that I stop playing the game for quite some time now.

Anyway, a good patch for a great game. In order to ensure this patch works correctly, I suggest that your video card is updated to the latest drivers.

Here’s the changelog for CoH patch 1.7
