Update your DirectX 9.0c driver!


Recommended Posts

Hi all!

 

I have had problems using the DirectX functions in the Scene background, my scene froze as soon as I changed to DirectX in the Tools, Options, Rendering tab. But after updating the DirectX drivers today that rendering option and a couple of the specific DirectX background settings started working for the first time on my machine!

 

Here you can download the latest version, from March 23, 2009:

After the update these 2 settings for blurring the reflection in the scene background started working:

Though the Shadow Maps setting is still freezing my scene...

 

Maybe Kevin can explain the different settings better?

BTW, before you can download the update, you must run a special "GenuineCheck.exe" file to get a validation number... haven't seen that one before. (So all you hackerzz ninja.gif out there, beware tongue.gif apparently I was ok! huh.gifbiggrin.gif )

 

And after the installation is finished you won't get a confirmation, it just closes and disappears.

Hello,

 

The shadow maps crash when you put the samples on 4 (the default setting), when you put that on 1 it should work. It doesn't crash in IC2009.

 

Regards, Roel.
