DirectX problems probably at anderzz this one right just downloaded the orange box off steam basically for Team Fortress 2. RIGHT. now when i load it up it says it needs directx8 to work. but i have Dx9. this is an arse. do i have to get a better graphics card so that Dx8+ works, or is they're a cheaper way around it. if i do need a better Gfx Card - any recommendations for cheap ones that can support this tri-linear cell shaded madness :spangled: :spangled:
What kinda graphics card have you got like fella? must be pretty dump if its refusing it. As for what to recommend, on a budget id be looking at getting an ATI 1950xt/pro But then that depends how good the rest of ya pc is, cos if the rest is super crap, then you would be best to just save a bit coin and ill sort ya a good upgrade out, cpu, motherboard gfx etc. Try downloading the latest direct x from a seperate site. Do a google for it, it should be 9.0c i think.
ey up a wondered when you would reply nah me and worldonFire sorted it earlier on, i've got a TERRIBLE graphics card - a one which i will not name. just need a new en to sort it out. i'm checking some cheap sites for some mid range cards, but no Geforce ultra or oot
Anthony did you sort him out with the same graphics card you sorted for me? If so I'd be prepared to spend about 20 minutes trying to fit it in its like a brick
