There was a problem hiding this comment.
Couldn't set it below 90. I also tested the game on dxlevel 90 which supposedly only supports shader model 2.0(a/b) and didn't notice any issues with vision modes, cloak or any other visuals.
Also tried using the -dxlevel launch option but it didn't do anything for me for some reason

Description
Forbid the player from launching with DirectX level < 9.0, because we don't have shader support for such old DX levels, and it would be an all around bad experience (if it even works).
Testing both at client library init, and in viewrender, because the client could fudge their cvar value post-init.
