DirectX 9a out. Sorry if it's a repost! *[Edit]* Redistibutable full version Available

[Shagga]

Unfortunately, it's the web update and not the full download. Anyone find a link for the full version anywhere then please post it.

[edit]

Full Version available.

 

[DannyBoy]

[SickBeast]

True, but it depends on your opinion of "Hardware" and "Software". It is Software but very much Hardware related.

 

[DannyBoy]

Ooo woophie dooo, diamond member

Its still "Software", DX9.0a is a piece of "Software"

Ah well i see your point, ill let you off this time (LIke it would really matter anyway)

Well that blows. I don't think I'll even bother with it in that case.

Where did I said it wouldn't install properly?

I was complaining that it's a web-only update and thus you can't use download managers on it.

 

[Kk4JC]

Yeah, I've had this for a few days (a week?).
It's a requirement for PCMark 2003.

ohhh...
DirectX 9.0 End-User Runtime setup requires an internet connection during setup. The DirectX 9.0 Redist is available for download for those users that do not have an internet connection available during installation or when setup has trouble connecting to the Microsoft server.

Full thing

do drivers fall under the "software" heading? technically yes, but most people consider them a component of the hardware.

i put directx in the same category as drivers. technically, unless you write drivers, you can't really "DO" anything with directx other than make your hardware work.

i'm with the diamond member on this one.

Yea, but that's DX 9.0 NOT 9.0a. Look @ the "Date Published" and "Version" #! :|:Q:|

 

[magomago]

HRm...I'm still on 8.1 - if my system is fine and stable is there a glaring need to up it up to dx9? I like to view these as bios updates- update only if you have a problem. But if that isn't the attitude I should take...can someone tell me?

First of all, it is already in the proper place.


Secondly, it can be in GH - by tradition - but if you want to be technical it is SOFTWARE - APPLICATIONS, PROGRAMMING AND GAMES



And I'll be grabbing this D/L and installing it in a few days if early users report no problems.

 

[clicknext]

No prob here. There aren't really any changes, just some small bug fixes.

 

[DaTT]

While its on my mind....Is it possible to remove DirextX (any version) to re-install an earlier version?
