Newer versions merely add new components, not change existing components. DirectX 9.0 should still support the IDirectDraw COM object. Each new version provides the interfaces of all the old versions. Saying that you will support a new version of DirectX makes no sense. > any of the extra features (and I am talking as if I had a card that could use > note of the release and maybe support it – i’m not going to cos i’ll never use

Personally, if I will have to troubleshoot my computer, I would rather do it now instead of when I get a new game that requires it. One is an Athlon XP 1.4 GHz and the other is an older Slot A Athlon 950 MHz. I have not seen much of a difference with either of the two Athlon PCs here, although they do have 256 MB of RAM. > recently that I got DX8 installed, BTW. > from experience, I find the newer version more resource hungry.

Not only playable but also you can enjoy the graphics of these games. > Unless there is a game that needs it, I wouldn’t install a new version, Normally, If you have a decent graphics card like the Nvidia GeForce 210 or something similar then you can try to play these games in high graphics settings. It is much more likely that the games, drivers, or hardware would crash, and I would suspect from your post that it is the latter two. DirectX is itself merely a COM interface to the hardware that games use.
In all seven versions of DirectX that were publicly released, I cannot remember a single patch or upgrade that was required to fix a lock-up issue. Maybe it is also possible to just install the latest one from June 2010, i'm not sure if it contains the earlier versions too.> no changes could be noticed, but for one that dx9 locks up different games (Q3,ĭirectX does not lock up games. This gives you a clue of what to search for, the keywords directx Mar2009 lead me to the microsoft download page. The list below shows the available DirextX-9 versions, the version can be found at the third column. If the missing file is for example d3dx9_41.dll, it means that DirectX-9 version 41 is required. To find the correct version i analyzed the error message. The exact version depends on the file which is required by your application, in my case it was directx_mar2009_redist.exe. You can download the "DirectX end user runtimes" from Microsofts website. Had the same problem when i tried to run an older game on Windows-10, it complained about a missing dll d3dx9_41.dll.
