RTW and Vista!

**mac_augustus** · 06-14-2007, 02:00

Hail and Salutations! I posted under another thread about problems with RTW and Vista. I was told by my "Tech authority" that my problems lay in my OP not the Disks (see other post). Anyway after making appropriate sacrifices to the true RTW gods I was blessed with the ability to not only load the games on my new computer but had an incredible afternoon playing with NO PROBLEMS in either campaign or battle modes. I only hope I'm not pulling a Ullyses and condeming myself to years of RTW torment. If I can assisit any others in this please feel free to ask or send me an e-mail and I'll do what I can. No surrender, No retreat!

You did remember to install dx9, didn't you?

I removed all the RTW software off the computer. Then I re-installed RTW. At the end of Disk one, second entry it asked me if I wanted to install DirectX 9.0. I said yes - at another web site I read we need 9.0 to properly run RTW. What we're supposed to get is 10.0 with all the componets of 9.0 added. I installed everything that it asked. My campaign screen is smooth. I read where others were having problems with battle mode and with RTW shutting down but... More bulls for Jupiter. If it would help I can post my system maybe? Anyway best of luck and remember If they run go and catch them, if you catch them make them run!!

So do you need DX 9 AND 10 installed simultaneously?

My system came with dx 10 for vista. I had to install dx 9 to get the game to run.

I'm using Vista and RTW runs better on it that it did on XP.

I'm still confused - can you run DX 9 and 10 at the same time (or, rather, have both installed), so that you can play both DX9 games (e.g. RTW) well, and new DX10 ones?

Nice sig BTW Zalmoxis
