direct x7.0a

  • Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.

It just turned UT into a slide show for me. Had to re-install Win98 to get UT running ok again.

Stay well away from Dx7a...you have been warned...

all dx7a did was improve DirectInput (for joysticks, force feedback etc) so its not gonna give u better fps or anything nor screw anything up.

Starfury: and ASHAW001: what kind of systems do you have? I installed 7.0a a while ago before I installed UT, so I have not compared the difference. But it runs like poop, even with all the settings on low.Unreal runs quite well , Ut does not.

guys - it clearly said on the download page that 7.0a only added DirectInput improvments. nothing else.

and it also said clearly that you cant uninstall directx7.

Guess what voyd, it worked and not only on UT but Quake3 as well. People, i had to reformat my computer to get rid of DirectX7.0a and once i did, there wasnt any slide show for me. It was all smooth and working perfectly. Guys, DirectX 7.0a is BAD! There is no need for it. Just stick with DirectX 7.0 and you'll be fine.
