DX8.1 instead of DX9 ...

...the ones who can read and remember have their advantages ...

direct ip=yes Same behaviour in dx9 (no connect) and dx8.1 (sorry, left off the .1 earlier)...crash

to uninstall directx, I have a file called directx eradicator that does the job. Let me know if you want it. It's only 90k. It does require an Operating System CD for Win2k and WinXP...so it can restore dx8

hmmm, don't really know then, maybe your video drivers need updating to use Dx9 properly.

But probably best you use Dx8.1 as it is more likely to be stable.

also it seems almost certain that the UK patch is a copy of the US patch and will not work (but i suspect it will if you can get your hands on a no cd patch)

Argh, I will remove the link to the dodgy UK patch...

CFC mentiones that the US patch works for UK releases with a workaround! As far as I can see it is done with a no-cd exe!

Aggie, we need more info!!!!

Email me if you don't want to post it...

Aggie · 08-08-2003, 17:52

It's on the first page of CFC! I read TF's info at work and just concluded that they also offered the dl of a no-cd patch...
