    Need DirectX 11.2 for Windows 8.1

    I am using Windows 8.1 Preview on my Dell laptop (updated from Win 8 Pro). I had few problems with the same but got it fixed using your helps, thank you. Yesterday i read somewhere that Microsoft has released the newer version of DirectX, its v11.2 but when i checked my DX version by running "dxdiag" command in RUN box, it says DirectX 11 is installed. As the new version performs better, i want to update it to version 11.2. But even after running update so many times, i didnt received the update so far. So i wanted to know how can we get DirectX 11.2 for my Windows 8.1 Preview?

    Yeah, thats correct. Even my Windows 8.1 Shows Direct X 11 but surprising part is when i was using Windows 8, my DX version was 11.1. I dont know whats going on.

    I also checked Microsoft's official page where they have clearly mentioned the following versions of DX for Win 8 and 8.1 Preview:

    • DirectX 11.2: Windows 8.1 Preview, Windows RT 8.1 Preview, and Windows Server 2012 R2 Preview

    • DirectX 11.1: Windows 8, Windows RT, and Windows Server 2012. Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 together with update 2670838 installed


    Lets see when MS actually offers DirectX 11.2 through Updates.

    Microsoft announced the new version of DirectX, i.e. v11.2 couple of months ago on July 5th. They clearly mentioned that this will be available for Xbox One and Windows 8.1. I’m not sure whether they actually meant it for 8.1 Preview. Hence I think we will be able to get DX 11.2 only after the final release of Windows 8.1 which is set on October 17th. So, we are just couple of weeks away, just keep patience instead of stressing for the same.

    Well I was not aware at all that Microsoft has announced the new version of DirectX. By the way, what is so new that in the new release that you guys are stressing so much for it?

    Can anyone please let me know about its new features and supports?
