I went to download and install, when it installed it stopped saying "You have newer or equivalent version of direct x"Tigereye wrote:QUOTE (Tigereye @ Nov 17 2009, 10:22 PM) I wouldn't be too sure about this - I thought I had the latest DirectX too when I was testing R5 before deploying it.
Then I found out that Microsoft abandoned any attempt at logic when updating DirectX over the last few years.
The latest version is 9.0c, and that version number hasn't changed in years despite the numerous patches that have been released. This means that one person's 9.0c may be newer than another person's 9.0c.
... you'd think they would have incremented the version number, or at least that letter!
Anyways.
Even if you believe you have the latest DirectX, I recommend you download the DirectX installer from Microsoft and run it.
It can't hurt! (er, at least it shouldn't)
