Aion's DirectX 10 compliance.

in Aion

Managed to swipe a beta key yesterday, and ran the installer overnight. Things went smoothly, besides the initial 'cannot download' bit but thanks to a guide in these forums, that was easily remedied.

I tried running it this morning, and when I did the Patcher said that my version of DirectX wasn't compliant.

"Aion requires DirectX 9 june 2008 or higher".

Naturally, I went "oh, okay " and re-installed DirectX 10, but it was the same version as the one I had. The results were predictable.

Has anyone else ran into this problem?

    A few have over at aionsource, I think they had to downgrade but i'm not sure.

    Velika: City of Wheels: Among the mortal races, the humans were the only one that never built cities or great empires; a curse laid upon them by their creator, Gidd, forced them to wander as nomads for twenty centuries...

    It asks for DirectX 9 so you install DirectX10? Right...

    Install the latest version of DirectX 9 from the Microsoft website and you will be good to go.

    Edit: I should point out that DirectX 9 and DirectX 10 coexist on the same computer quite happily as DirectX 10 is not backwards compatible.

    I have little interest in anything backed by NCSOFT,but i can help out your simple situation.

    It means Direct X 9/9a/9b/9c ,DX10 is VISTA only and is not compliant to anything else.

    If the game cannot even run on VISTA[most all will]it would just need a patch by NCSOFT as the ONLY games that will never run on Vista are the older 16 bit games.

    Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

    Windows 7 runs Korean Aion now, but back when 1.1 (patch NCwest is supposedly using) it didn't work in windows 7, partition.

    hehe...that's funny cause the link on their systems requirements posting in the support forums takes you to a dx10 download...

    It's a proven historical fact that beer saved humankind.
