ahhh ok thanks. That's one game down =X. But I'm not able to switch Bioshock
or Hellgate london into DX 10 either. Same w/ Age of Conan (i've got the 3
day early pass, so I've got the full game patched/installed today). For
example age of conan...I set it to DX 10 and try to launch, it fails to
launch (no error message or anything, just doesnt start up at all). When I
set it to DX 9, it works perfectly.
