It's DX9.
Installed on a fresh Win7 (which has only DX11 files) and I got a DX9 error when trying to start the game. Found out I needed DX9 installed to run it.

Here is a stuttering fix I posted elsewhere today:

If you have Vista or Win7, then there is a tweak you can do to make the game more playable. You still get the stuttering, but it is hardly noticeable.

-Run Windows Task Manager
-Start the game and leave it at main screen
-In Task Manager(under the processes tab), right click the Divinity2.exe, and set priority to high.
-Alt+Tab back to the game and play.

Also turn on Timeslice Shadow updates.

The game may hang when you exit out, so you may have to kill the process manually.


One more thing...... Disable SLI if you have it.

HTH


i just try'd this and it seems to have cut the stuttering down alot. i mean its still there but the game is alot more playable now then before.

Distance rendering - Medium
Timeslice Animation - unchecked
Shadow Quality - High
Texture Quality - Medium
Use HDR - unchecked
Render light shafts - unchecked
Tree Quality - High
Vegetation Quality - High

I get a decent FPS with higher settings (setting Tex quality to high for example) but the frame rate is to sporadic for FPS limiter to do any good. The above settings work best with FPS limiter set to 45 and my system (check specs on previous page).

Note: I still haven't been able to get rid of the stutter entirely. It's still present as I can tell the game world is sort of "chugging" along while i'm moving around, it's just not as bad now. Although, i'm not convinced this can actually be fixed by any of us and may be a part of how the game was coded. I've watched gameplay videos on youtube and when the character is running through the world it looks similar to how the game plays for me. It's too bad though because this game would be much nicer if it ran smoother while moving through the world.

Maybe the devs can allow us access to some of the more advanced graphical setting through the use of an ini file similar to the one's used in Risen, Gothic 3, Oblivion, etc.. next patch maybe.. smile

I see from your most recent post you've already gotten it, but here is another download link: FPS_Limiter_0.2.rar (162KB). I found some instructions in a GameSpot forum, but have not tried the program or the instructions.
