Zeroc,

This is a great thing to talk about. Believe me or not, I'm running Direct X 6.0 and not having a single problem. Just checked. I can't understand why it's running, but it does! I also use a ATI Rage 128 with 32MB of memory and since I haven't updated the drivers I DO get some small problems with light as well. Doesn't bother me though. I can cast Illuminate and I get dark, black blocks that don't refresh fast enough. I KNOW IT'S NOT AN ERROR; it's my card! So, I can't blame DW for this. It's MY fault. I have to update my driver which I'm going to do now.

Otherwise EVERYTHING WORKS without a hitch. Yes folks, there ARE a few bugs in the game, but I have finished ALL the areas for the town of Isbad N'ha and I'm leaving the castle ruins and going to the town to finish this area. What a great game - can't get enough!

PS: There are so many versions of Driect X it's mind boggling. I really think the folks who worte it have no clue as to what is REALLY going on. They have to SIT DOWN, LOOK AT ALL THE VIDEO CARDS and then write it. People are having so many problems! I think one REAL REASON is thier systems ARE NOT configured correctly with the swapfile and CLEAN memory. This ends ALOT of frustration since I did it BEFORE I installed the game. Then Direct X can run properly. Hope this helps someone. Thanks again Zeroc - LOVE YOUR POSTS!!!

Sincerely;
Druadic
