Vista Patch Won't Install

Postby tylermenezes » Sat Jun 30, 2007 9:36 pm

I'm unable to patch the game with the Vista patch. It says that my version of Direct X is not correct, and that it's looking for version 9.0c. Because this is Vista, it has version 10 installed. Can someone help me. All I need is to be able to finish the Receiver recapture level, but it crashes all the time.

Thanks,
Tyler

Having Directx 10 doesn't necessarily means you have the latest version of Directx 9. Directx 9 and Directx 10 are 2 different things.

See Microsoft Directx site for the update to directx.

Much like .NET 2.5 and 3.0, I suppose. Microsoft makes everything way too confusing.

Okay, so I downloaded that update, but now it's unable to connect to the server to get the updates when I try to install. I've disabled my anti-virus and firewall. Any ideas?

EDIT: I downloaded the redist. package and it installs right.
