Fortunately, the next sentence reads: The following development .dll files that are associated with the DirectX SDK <http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=6812> are incompatible with this platform update: - D3D10SDKLayers.dll - D3D11SDKLayers.dll - D3D10ref.dll - D2D1debug.dll The only DirectX SDK DLL that we are still using is D3DCompiler.dll. As it isn't listed above, it sounds like we're safe. That said, it is generally a good idea to upgrade DirectX SDKs when a newer one comes out: we do run into D3DCompiler.dll bugs, and there is hope that they would be fixed in newer versions.
