Just Cause 2 PC system requirements, no DX9 support

February 25, 2010

Sorry, Windows XP folks. But Square Enix has just revealed the system requirements for Just Cause 2, and apparently, they won’t be supporting DX9 for this one.

According to the announcement, Just Cause 2 will be using DirectX 10 features instead. And since Windows XP directly comes with DirectX 9, this will not fly with the game. Your only remedy, therefore, is to install either Vista or Windows 7.
