rFactor: Dedicated server need Directx 8.1 ?

Why in hell is the dedicated server running with at least Directx 8.1 installed ? I was trying to install it on my linux server with wine (LFS Dedi-Server with no problems), but with directx 8.1 its really a problem :-( Any Ideas ? Daniel

According to a post by an ISI dev at RSC forums the non-graphics dedicated server is still in development and wasn't ready for release with this MP test. Alan.

That's good news indeed, it might indicate that we'd be able to enjoy a truly stable MP environment in the likes of Q3, UT and so on, based on Linux or whatever. cheers, uwe -- mail replies to Uwe at schuerkamp dot de ( yahoo address is spambox) Uwe Schuerkamp //////////////////////////// http://www.schuerkamp.de/ Herford, Germany \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ (52.0N/8.5E) GPG Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61
