DirectX 8.0 vs 8.0a

[InFecTed]

Any problems with hardware compabilities with version 8.0a? I need to install directX after formating and trying to figure out what version to choose.
btw is 8.0a beta or final?

I thought 8A was the same as 8 except its multi-languaged.. Not sure though.

 

[BreakApart]

8 has lots of known bugs.
*So they released*
8a, has a smaller list of known bugs.


lol...

I read somewhere they're working on 8.0b, too. Should be out this summer.

 

[LuciferHaze]

Well, should we download DirectX8.0a or leave it be for now?

 

[TapTap]

No. Dont do it. 8a is not stable.

8.0a fixed this strange problem where I couldn't hold more than one key down at any given moment, or they would all cancel each other out. Example, I would be running forward, then attempt to strafe+run forward to get around the pit in Q3CTF3, the keys cancelled each other out, and I fell into the fog.

There are beta versions of 8.1 floating around.
