…efault The recommendation is now to leave `d3d12` to its default `yes` value, which means installing Direct3D 12 dependencies is considered required by default. You can still skip the dependencies by compiling with `d3d12=no`, which matches the behavior of self-compiled builds prior to Godot 4.6. This also removes an outdated FAQ question, since a lot of time has passed since that question was written (Godot only had Vulkan and OpenGL support back then).

Not cherry-pickable to 4.5.
