Indeed, it was removed like 4-5 months ago. See
3ab7dc5d764d41bf828dd76672ca2918b004bad3. I have no idea why they
removed it. Note that d3d support was always experimental. And it was
introduced in 4.3.0 and not 4.5, iirc.

That said, the most likely reason, 4.5 does not detect d3d is because it
cannot find the d3d sdk in the path. Sorry, cannot help you more on this
front.
