Upcoming Update : Graphic & New User Interface (UI) Improvement
18. Aug. 2025







PERIOD : 19 Agustus 2025 (After Maintenance)

Hi Troopers,

We would like to inform you about some upcoming updates. Previously, Point Blank only supported DirectX 9, a graphics technology that was released quite a long time ago in 2002 and is NO LONGER receiving major updates from Microsoft.
To enhance graphics quality, performance, compatibility, and support the latest features in Point Blank, we will be introducing the option to use DirectX 11! With this latest update, you can choose to use either DirectX 9 or DirectX 11, depending on your preferences and device specifications.




The DirectX 11 update also brings improvements to the graphics settings UI, which is now more intuitive and flexible,
accompanied by reference images that make it easier for you to adjust the graphics as needed.




Here are some comparisons between DirectX 9 and DirectX 11:

LIGHTING





SCREEN SPACE REFLECTION




To maintain compatibility during the transition to DirectX 11,
the default graphics settings in Point Blank will remain at DirectX 9.

Using DirectX 11 requires:
1. A graphics card (GPU) that supports DirectX 11
2. Compatible and updated drivers/firmware

If your hardware is still using an older GPU or firmware version,  
using DirectX 11 may cause performance issues or graphical problems.  
In such cases, we recommend switching back to the DirectX 9 option via the game settings.






If there is a problem that prevents the game from reopening, you can reconfigure the game through “PBConfig” in the game folder. How to do it: 1. Right-click on the Point Blank game icon. 2. Select “Open file location” to open the game folder.


3. Locate and run the PBConfig file to reset the game configuration.
