Dx10 issue

derelict360 · 06-27-2008

I was informed by the developers over at Flagship Studios that I may have a corrupt install of DX10 on my system. I went to reinstall DX10 but it tells me that I have the most up to date version and aborts the install.
Does anyone know a way I can reinstall DX10?

Also, I would like to try intalling DX9c to see if it helps any. Can someone link me to wich download I should use for this?

Strange they said that, are they real developpers??

Try first a sfc /scannow to check if you have corrupted files, you should also defrag your drive if not done automatically.

Sorry, i forgot: For DirectX 9, have a look there: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

Thanks for the reply. This gives me some stuff to go on for now. The game is Hellgate by the way.

They believe that the DX10 engine failure is in effect because I am missing graphics in DX10 that are present in the DX9 engine. Here is the original inquiry.

I actually havent tried an uninstall / reinstall yet

. Ill write back after the reinstall and defrag and all that.

	Me: For instance, if I cast a Personal Relocation Device in the DX9 engine, I will see a column of light with a dark purple circle and active ripples on the floor. In DX10, the only thing I see is a column of light. There is no dark purple circle with active ripples on the floor in the DX10 engine. Other spells and activities have a similar discrepency. In DX9, if I attack a barrell, there is an explosion effect. In DX10, when attacked, the barell will simply fragment and then dissappear. In addition to this, for people with the above mentioned setup (Vists 64 and DX10), the DX9 engine appears to behave much more effectively. I have had times with DX10 where i get 60 fps, just like I do with DX9. But 99.99% of the time, the DX10 engine behaves ineffectively. The engine will render 18-25 frames per second under normal load. In a party, in open air locations, the DX10 engine will sustain FPS levels as low as 1-10. This effectively renders the DX10 engine unplayable.

Hi Derelict, DX9 and DX10 are inseparable and both are Nativity installed and used within Vista, You can try running a System File Check (SFC /scannow) and/or updating both DX9/10 versions here: Latest DirectX Update Steven

I am still getting the same result. The installer informs me that I have a newer or equibilant version and no installation is necessary. Sounds normal to me but FSS tells me that it should install right over it.

It shouldn't sound normal

That version of DirectX in the links I posted for you allways installs over the current DirectX installation by design, It shouldn't have version errors

Try this tutorial for running a System File Check...

System Files - SFC Command
