[Audyssey] DirectX was Downloads for Rail Racer
Hi, Richard. Well, the MS Windows update service generally does not have the newist build of Microsoft DirectX. They tend to run a little behind as they allow developers and companies to test them for reliability before making them apart of the standard Windows update. Makes sense really. However, you can always download a full product upgrade or a update setup file for the latest DirectX 9.0C from http://www.microsoft.com/directx and the current version is DirectX 9.0C June 2006. Which is the version I will be posting to USA Games soon. As for checking your version of DirectX there is a way to find out which build you have, but it won't tell you the month and year of release. The dxdiag tool wil scan your system and tell you something like DirectX Version: 9.0C 4.09.xx where 4.09. is the current build number. To run the dxdiag tool go to start menu, run, type dxdiag, and press enter. Use your Window Eyes WE curser or JFW Jaws curser to read the output.

Will windows automatically download the newest version of direct x if set up to do so? What is the latest version # of direct x and where can one get it? Thanks for the help.

Which version of DirectX 9 do you have? There are several versions of DirectX 9. In fact, a new version was just released last week. ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Hi, Ivan. As I just pointed out when you run dxdiag you are given the version of DirectX such as 9.0C and then a build number like 4.09.xxx. The second number, the build number 4.09.xxx, is the important part for compatibility. The rule of thunb is you should be running the same or better build number. Most people think they have 9.0C but don't realise that Microsoft is frequently updating 9.0C so there is several versions of 9.0C. There have been three updates to DirectX 9.0C this year alone. Febuary,April, and June. So just because it is 9.0C does not mean it is the same version Che or I compiled with. Ivan Fegundez wrote: Hi, it says that I am using direct x c.
