Strange issue

Does anyone have any problem with the DirectX SDK (December 2006) and TGAE ??

It compiles ok for me but i get flickering dark terrain on the water demo and nothing light related works for in the EA1 Demo.

My exe compiled with previous DirectX sdk works... soooo .... Any advise ?

Dec 2006 DX removed PS 1.1 HLSL compiling, unless a certain option is passed with the shader compiling function. All 1.1 Shaders would need to be moved to ASM, instead of HLSL (although 1.1 is a joke anyways)..

The only other option would be to remove 1.1 Shader compiling and just do a minimum of 2.0.

We ran into a problem with Dec SDK using legacy compiler that headers weren't being included properly, so we're staying on October as our base for now

You have to love Microsoft's "enhancements".
