Chilljf · Jul 31, 2002, 01:01 PM

thanx guys for everything... I have 1 question tho.. I have the unpatched version installed on my cpu right now.. can I just install the patched version or do I have to unistall the unpatched and then install the prepatched?

iceboy · Jul 31, 2002, 09:11 PM

Don't uninstall, just install over it since the unpatched files will be replaced

permission denied... log on fine but not into directory...

edit - can anyone confirm the http addy is for the patched dx9 that will not expire in 12 days lol

DallasStar · Aug 1, 2002, 01:18 PM

i can verify this is the correct one patched and working: http://filex.hardwarezone.com/cgi-bi...200207/DX9.zip i just got it off there

shuki · Aug 2, 2002, 06:15 AM

but dallas does it now say dx 9 in your DX system page? I ask because xp got this one and installed it but his still says 8.1 there...

DallasStar · Aug 2, 2002, 06:48 AM

it does still say 8.1 in dxdiag, but there are plenty of files identified as "beta" and the version number for all the files is "4.9xxxxx" which means that they are indeed DX9 files. DXdiag just doesn't recognize the beta properly (that's my guess

)

shuki · Aug 2, 2002, 06:58 AM

well conflicting reports. cause some have dx9 in dxdiag and some don't..... hmm.

edit - you see any performance increase? numbers wise?

wong chiew chin · Aug 2, 2002, 07:02 AM

Hi all,

Thanks for the great info.

wong chiew chin · Aug 2, 2002, 07:04 AM

Hi all,

Can someone please enlighten me whether the version works for a specific OS?

I will be very grateful if I can be pointed to the 98 patch.

Regards

iceboy · Aug 2, 2002, 08:08 AM

to see dx 9 in dxdiag, install in safe mode.

Wong, the files is only for win 2k/xp

shuki · Aug 2, 2002, 08:09 AM

dx9 is for all OS. the above http address is already "patched" so it won't expire on Aug. 12th.

edit - iceboy that confirmed?

iceboy · Aug 3, 2002, 01:49 AM

comfirmed that file i pointed to is for winxp/2k/.net AND installing in safe mode will let you see dx 9 in dxdiag, coz i did that myself.

highpingdrifter · Aug 3, 2002, 02:47 PM

any benefit to installing this?

Until They Suport DirectX9.0 Expect Crashes to the Desktop on Some Direct3d Games or with Some Memory Settings

I installed dx9 that i downloaded from a link on this page. I'm having major problems now. No direct3d8 or direct3d9 interface when running test for direct 3d acceleration in dxdiag. Games fail to even run, like Ghost Recon. I would assume any game that requires dx8 acceleration. dx7 is fine. I've reinstalled, reinstalled in safe mode, reinstalled my graphic driver. I've even reinstalled Ghost Recon. Nothing seams to work, and now I'm stuck with dx9 on my system. Anyone have any answers, that may help me out? I would appreciate it.
 
 
 this is the error:
 
 no problems found
 To test directdraw functionality, click the "test direct draw" button above.
 Direct3D 7 test results: All tests were successful.
 Direct3D 8 results: Failure at step 5 (GetDeviceCaps): HRESULTS = 0x8876086a (3D not available)
 Direct3D 9 test results: Failure at step 2 (Getting Direct3D Create address): HRESULT = 0x0004003 (error code)
 
 
 I'm using a Radeon 7000 64mb DDR.

iceboy · Aug 4, 2002, 08:26 AM

to mechcommander.. yeah, shit do happens

try uninstalling dx 9

if u're using xp:
http://filex.hardwarezone.com/cgi-bi...nXP_DotNet.rar

for win 2k:
http://filex.hardwarezone.com/cgi-bi..._Pak_Win2K.zip

next time always do a system restore point before u try anything beta

mechcommander · Aug 4, 2002, 10:24 AM

I downloaded the uninstall file and can't get it unrar. Is it suppose to be 29.7kb in size? LOL, its just one problem after another. I know the links right, because it downloaded the file. Just wondering if there is a mirror for the XP uninstall.

iceboy · Aug 4, 2002, 06:18 PM

do u have win RAR? i just downloaded it myself and it works OK with winACE

iceboy · Aug 4, 2002, 06:24 PM

more links then, if you want.. http://home.elp.rr.com/vortex2050/files/

mechcommander · Aug 5, 2002, 12:28 AM

Hey thanks, I usually run winace to unrar. but I picked up winrar and it works great. I did figure a little out messing around. I disabled 3d acceleration and then enabled it again. This allowed both directx7 and directx8 tests to run successfully. It also allowed me to run my favorite games. I still get the error "Direct3d9 test results: failure at step 2. (Getting Direct3DCreate address): HRESULTS = 0x80004003 (error code)" on the directx9 test. Other than that everything is running smooth so far, so i think I'll keep it on here for a while. Although it would be nice to have the directx9 test run successful also. Any helpful ideas ...please post.
 
 Thanks again.

pvaliunas · Aug 5, 2002, 03:04 PM

Mechcommander - are you using the 6118 DX9 drivers?
