Adopting DirectX
When running an application in Version 13, it will continue to behave exactly as it did in version 12. Only by actively choosing to use the DirectX rendering option will the application change.

For some however, DirectX rendering may subtly impact the behavior of the existing application.
LANSA has gone to great lengths to ensure that “flicking the DirectX switch” is as simple and uneventful as possible, and that the user interface remains close to that of version 12. However, with such an array of new functionality and the restrictions imposed by the adoption of new underlying technologies, some change is inevitable
