DirectX Issue

[Leichhardt]

I have directx 10... the demo indicates DirectX9.0c or higher... yet when I launch the game it indicates I need to update my version. I cannot update my version without damaging the computer. Windows Vista requires DX10.

Just a tip your trying to mix two beta version never a very good idea;) The full retail version of C IV might play on the full retail version of Vista but in that case it would be up to Microsoft not to TM. C IV has been in development for a awhile as has Vista. TM can't be expect to make their game to work with an operating system that effectively didn't exist as a final product when development started.

DX10 should be backwards compatable with DX9 anyway, so try the demo without installing DX9.

Caesar III works great... if I "Install" DirectX9.0c onto Vista.. Caesar IV works... until you launch it again... then the OS gets corrupt. So far.. the only thing that doesn't work... is Caesar IV... CivIV works.. Sims2.. CivCity Rome... Etc.
