Don’t know if its too early to be asking if VorpX, because of how it hooks into the games currently, will only work with extended mode compatible runtimes, or will vorpx eventually support the new Direct Driver SDK which got rid of the extended mode?
For an end user it will definitely be a good idea not to install the 0.7 runtime on day one. This newly announced Direct Driver Mode sounds a lot more intriguing than the current direct mode though, so I guess many apps, including vorpX, will adapt soon.
