Hi new to the forum Thank You for looking over my problem I just noticed that Newer games don't work for my system. Which is Oddly strange At first when certain games didn't work I didn't mind, but as more and more seem to appear I thought it was strange. When I would launch a game, it wouldn't load it would just say "so and so.exe has encountered a problem...." older games that were purely dx9 I have no problems, but i noticed it first happening with Lost Planet Demo, then the Tabula Rasa Beta, and I thought to myself "hmm... these games are new and seem to run on dx10 also" So when I got The Witcher and the same problem occured, I had to find something to really confirm it. So I downloaded Bioshock demo, and ding same problem. I have no idea why I'm unable to run these new games, my specs are optimal: Amd Athlon 64 X2 6000+ 2gig ddr2 800 ram 8800 GTX with latest drivers I tried to do everything to fix the problem, but it doesn't seem like anyone else has this problem, so when all else failed I ended up rebooting completely. Still the problem persist. I'm wondering why these newer games don't work what so ever, but the older ones do "bf2142, city of villains, guildwars, cs, rf online etc..." Does anyone know what might be the problem? Thanks anyone greatly if they can help
If you're using XP, you need Vista for those newer games, because DirectX 10 was originally designed for Vista only, and I believe it still is.
yeah i understand that, but those games should run find under dx9.0c I've talked to other people who are still runing xp and are able to run those games fine, but for some odd reason my system isn't running those newer games other than crashing before launch.
