Patron build 0.7.0 may need Direct X Update if having texture issues

TLDR:
Install the Windows 7 Direct X 11 Update (KB2670838)

More Info:

Version 0.7.0 includes an update to the unity engine, this update adds support for DirectX 11.1 but may cause an issue on some Windows 7 systems.

If you notice weird textures such as character hair going black or wetness not working when you have DX11 Tessellation enabled, you may need to install Windows 7 DirectX 11 update (KB2670838)

If you are seeing this issue, the output_log.txt will report an error "failed to create D3D11 device":

Initialize engine version: 5.5.1f1 (88d00a7498cd)
GfxDevice: creating device client; threaded=1
d3d11: failed to create D3D11 device (0x80070057)
GfxDevice: creating device client; threaded=1

This is occurring because Unity is detecting an incompatibility and reverting the app to DirectX 9 mode.

Installing the Windows 7 DirectX 11 update (KB2670838) should resolve this issue and let you use Direct X 11 mode again.
