1.4.2 and directX

by Chris Sargent · in Torque Game Engine · 11/13/2007 (7:06 pm) · 3 replies

Just came back again after almost 2 years. I re-downloaded the 1.4.2 SDK and ran the installer. I am on Vista and direct X 10. After the installer completed I got a message saying torque requires a newer version of direct X. Can I compile and run 1.4.2 with direct X 10?

Thanks in advance.

Vista ships with 9.0c, I believe.

Have you made sure that your graphics drivers themselves are up to date (use the manufacturer's site and not Windows Update)?

Hmmm all my drivers are up to date to my knowledge, but I will check again thanks. I used dxdiag to check my direct x version after I received that message and I have direct x 10 now. You are correct Vista ships with 9c, so somewhere along the way I picked up dx 10.

I updated my video and sound card drivers apparently there were new drivers for November 2007. I then uninstalled the SDK and reinstalled this time with no warning about direct X.

Thanks for the help
