[tiku]

40 minutes playing now and no crash...

Maybe something weird happened when testing it without frame limit?

That Windows 7 doesn't come with DirectX later than what is available to Vista or XP is confusing because it has DirectX 11 (as far as most people are aware).

I suppose that would fix my issues, but isn't it kind of counter intuitive? Windows 7 Update doesn't have a newer DirectX listed.

[kabooz]

you can still use older DirectX versions like DX9 right?
you have to update these that you do with the webinstaller which checks what files are old or missing^^ and downloads the new files

so regardles of the directX you have to update it to the newest version(1.9...something XD)

How much faster, btw?

It is as much as 5 Fps faster ingame in most of the matches.
Thats really good

Neither does windos vista. Not sure but if I remember correctly even XP doesn't list monthly DX updates. Still there is update almost every month. Windows update mostly lists critical security updates. DX is not important enough I think.

And yes. You can update windows 7 with same DX package that you use with XP/vista

i tried doing the update with dxwebsetup and it doesn't update.

Well there is june, august and november at least so more like 2-3 months to be more exact. My point was that dx9.0c isn't latest like some people think.

Websetup is known to be buggy sometimes. DL DirectX End-User Runtimes (November 2008)


Here is screenie where I'm running vtlb build with gsdx DX10 on win 7


And DX config screen

[LuisR14]

well i just checked "c:\windows\system32" and i see all the files for dx9 and dx10 there, plus there's a file that is for dx11 so my computer is already updated

but since my video card doesn't support dx10 it will most probably not support dx11

'Spyro: A Hero's Tail' no longer works with PCSX2 SVN 681 (Never loads the Title Screen after the logo but still plays music with a black screen). Tried with and without speed hacks. It worked with previous versions.
On another note, I've noticed 'Crash: The Wrath of Cortex' got a speed increase in SVN681.

With the latest svn update I get

Error: unrecognized format for the relative external URL '^\trunk\3rdparty\Soundtouch'
Error: check the path and/or URL you've entered.

Then Tortoise SVN fails
