Is this true?

Is it true that GP4 only works with DirectX 8.1a and nothing else??

Also, is it true that the Dx on the GP4 CD isn't any good, it doesn't work properly or something??

Thanks

im playing gp4 with dx9, its stupid.

in practice its 60po on the grip its 300!, if i watch a replay its 400, if i fast forward using F7 its 90!!!

this shows how badly the gfx & physics engines go together

Guys, I must be lucky. Installed DX9 and it seems to work ok. PO 65-70 in practise, 105 on grid and 70-80 in race (fps 28). This is with res 1280x1024. My comp: P4 2.0, 256 ddr, GF3 ti200.

Rgds,

I'm using the DX8.1 from the GP4 cd and it works fine on my modest P3-800.

the GP4 V9 patch kept telling me that i had to install Dx 8.1, when i had DX9

Strange, I had DX8.1, installed the patch and then upgraded to DX9.0 without any problem???

Merry Christmas to You all and a Happy New Year!

ah, i installed dx9 before the patch

is this the proper DX9 or the beta?

ESSENTIAL OILS aren't essential unless you're an engine, a gearbox or a twat

beta (which is actually worse)

I have the official DX9.0. Downloaded from Microsoft/DirectX home page.

Rgds,

and has it made any obvious improvements to any games including GP4?

The stages that game development normally goes through are:

1. Creating a game engine (or copy and pasting one)
2. Copy and pasting code from the last version
3. Make the game playable
4. Alpha testing - doesnt work
5. Get it to work
6. Write manuals etc
7. Release game
8. Beta testings - hardly works
9. Release a patch that makes it nearly work
10. Release the next version at £35

4. Alpha testing - doesnt work
5. Write manuals etc
6. Release the game at £35
7. Beta testings - conducted by a forum
8. Release a patch that makes it nearly work
9. Withdraw Patch

release another patch that stops all of it working
