DirectX beta?

by David Clifton · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 06/18/2004 (4:10 am) · 5 replies

Has there been any testing with the DirectX Beta SDK (Summer 2004) and the 9.0c runtime? If not, I'm running it now so I suppose just loading it up will be just such a test...however I was wondering if any issues were found?

I've been meaning to grab 9c and check it out. There's some neat stuff in there Ben was telling me about. Instancing etc.

To my knowledge, no testing has been done yet with 9c.

We've been focused on getting the features we have working - 9c is just more stuff to play with, so we haven't touched it.

Alright...I'll let you know if I run into problems, then. Final version of 9c should be coming sooner rather than later anyway.

I've only ever used TSE on the beta and it works fine. Only thing you might notice is the SDK installs in a different place.

Good to hear it won't be an issue. But yes...that has actually annoyed me a good deal since I joined the beta. Found myself missing the c:\DXSDK folder...oh well, a shortcut fixed the issue for me :)
