The game and the demo requires the latest version of directx9 to be installed on your pc. (Actually, one from november is good enough..) The CD the game comes on contains the latest redistributables for it, but for those of you that may want the demo or the gg version, you can get it from here, unless you already have it.

So, just a few more hours until they get it uploaded at Gamer's Gate it seems.

The demo I mean.

If you run Windows XP/SP2, you will automatically also have DirectX 9.0c

I know this may seem like a stupid question, but does it run smoothly on X10?

This isn't direct at you, hjarg, but just a general statement for everyone, because it is a bit confusing:

Vista users must still grab the latest DirectX9, even if they have updated Vista with the latest Windows Updates and the latest DirectX10.

Don't ask me why DirectX9 isn't already a part of Vista. It's not like the Vista DVD doesn't have enough room to fit it on there....

Tried it on two of my computers with DX10, bluescreen once i click single player button and the screen where you choose faction comes up. Bæng.

Tried it on my old computer, which barley can run Win 3.11 and it works like a charm.

I smell unfinished product

Cant be a coincidence it fail to run on both my DX10 computers, one AMD, and one Intel, all up to date with drivers and hardware (me and my sons gaming machines).

did you install directx9 on your new pc?

dx10 is a buggy piece of shit that does not include all dx9 features.

Ye, I've installed newest DX9, twice actually. I've even tried the new Nvidia Beta drivers, which didnt work either.

So I rolled back everything, reinstalled the Dec 07 nvidia drivers, newest DX9, and tried again, it worked in the sense I didnt get the same error, now it crashes even before game is starting to load

Just pops up a window saying game stopped working properly and is shutting down, etc, etc, yadda, yadda.

I give up, guess I wait a couple of hundred patches on full game and try again

I am having the same problem. I was pretty darn sure I had the latest version of DirectX, but apparently I dont. I downloaded the dxwebsetup post above and that went fine, but the program fails when it tries to initialize after I accept the license agreement.

2 things here.

Been using Vista for some time now. Once you install the game/demo right click and go to compatability (from the desk top icon). Click on XP Service pack 2 and save. This has helped me in all my other games on vista. Had a major problem witrh War in the Pacific but this fixed it. Since I don't have the game yet (Pre-Ordered) will have to wait an see if this helps.

Vista is a real b*tch with a lot of programs. Hopefully SP1 will deal with this.
