DX5 or DX6 for MGPRS2 Demo?

by Dave Ma » Tue, 13 Oct 1998 04:00:00

So, while we poor Yanks have to wait until February for MGPRS2, I
figured I'd download the demo. I'll be using a Voodoo2
12MB SLI configuration with it. But before I install the demo, was
hoping someone could definitively answer this question about
DirectX requirements.

This UbiSoft page, which I bookmarked awhile ago:
http://www.racesimcentral.net/

says that for both minimum and recommended system requirements,
"Direct X5 (should work on X6)"

But this UbiSoft page:
http://www.racesimcentral.net/

says that DirectX6 is required for both minimum and recommended system
requirements.

So, which is correct? I've tried the core version of DX6 a month ago
and it's given me *A LOT* of problems. I've used the DirectX
Unistaller utility available here:
http://www.racesimcentral.net/%7Eebrink1/Direct.htm

and it seems to have worked, and I'm back on DX5.2, according to the
DX Info utility.

TIA for possibly saving me from DirectX Hell.

DX5 or DX6 for MGPRS2 Demo?

by J. Clermont » Tue, 13 Oct 1998 04:00:00

I did play the demo, delivered with the PCGames 11/98, with Win 98 with
DirectX6 (for win98)

I played it with 3Dfx and with D3D on my ATI-card.

No problems till now.
