DX8a Released

[corkyg]

Thanks, Taz . . . got it downloaded, and will experiment with it on a cloned drive tomorrow.

DX8 has worked perfectly for me on 3 systems, including a laptop, all running ME. Can't imagine what needs fixing? However!

You're welcome, was going to show up here regardless of me!

Yes, it's the bug fixes. Some of us have learned to avoid MS first releases. There ought to be more than 2 fixes in dx8a. Hmmm.

Sweet.

lol this is weird..

first of all, there are games coming out that require Direct X 8 (like Independance War 2) for it's new features (like full T&L support, and stuff like that).

second of all, I don't need it, cause I don't have any games requiring DX 7 (I just got one game, Homeworld Cataclysm that requires DX7a)..

so you guys can work out all the bugs while I sit here pretty playing to my hearts content

Soccerman,

I heard IW2 uses just about every DX8 feature there is to use. That's nice. I missed the first IW but read good reviews -- looking forward to the sequel.

Yep, I'll also offer to help you let everyone else beta test DX8A. I shall upgrade only when I must.
