Unreal Frontend DX11?

Kbrom12

I'm leading a group here at school and we are utilizing some DX11 features in February UDK. The professor wants an .exe to show and bring around and I don't blame him but we cannot find a way to get that for him. We are using level streaming along with DX11 and it seems whenever I package the game it never seems to work, that and I can't find a way to turn on DX11...any help would be great. I've done a ton of research online and only found other posts just like this with no answers; if anyone knows something please speak up, thanks!

Just to note, the level works perfectly in UDK, just not after we cook, package, and install it.

If you run the game from a shortcut instead of the .EXE you can add a command line argument(CLA) to force the render to DX 11. Here is a page on the the UDN that explains what various CLA do.

So an example of this would something like the following...


(Drive UDK is on):\UDK\UDK-2012-02\Binaries\Win64\UDK.exe SM5 -log

This should launch the game for you using DX 11 and open up a log for you as well. I know its a hack but maybe it will work for you. Let me know if it does not and I will see what else I can come up with.
