GWSB Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I've never used Direct-X as a 'tool' for improving my system. So I (too) would like to know if this or a new version of Direct-X can improve some game issues (Direct-3D related games?). Dear creators of CM:SF, can you verify this? Douglas, I hope that you will try this version out and share your experiences.

Cameroon Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 CMSF is OpenGL, I don't imagine a new version of DirectX fixing anything unless there's some weird interactions going on 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Rudd Posted August 6, 2007 Author Share Posted August 6, 2007 Forgot that CMSF was OpenGL. However, it did run a bit smoother. At least it seemed to. On other programs I did get better frame rates, and improved images. This was with Turbines Lord of The Rings Online and Bethsofts Star Trek Legacy. This on a C2D X6800, 2 gigs RAM, nVidia 7950GX2, Sound Blaster X-Fi. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSB Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Thanks for the input. I might be trying the new version next week-end. Also see which game I play will (or might) benefit from a new Direct-X. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmatt Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 The link abive is for the full Redistribution version of DirectX 9.0c (w/ August update). You don't need that whole 60 meg file though as you can go here and just get new material via the online update utility. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=2DA43D38-DB71-4C1B-BC6A-9B6652CD92A3&displaylang=en As mentioned above, CMSF uses OpenGL, not DirectDraw, but these new DX updates often fix issues with other games so worth the download.
