please note you do need to install Directx 9c. Vista/7/8 comes with DX 10/11 and a base version of dx9. The issue is that MS does not include all the latest modules for dx 9c, nor are the DX10/11 backward compatible. Even a fresh XP install will require DX 9c installation for those updated modules.

DX 10/11 and DX 9c are located in their own subfolders, they do not overwrite each other. Programs and games are set to locate the necessary files from their respective location.

MWO currently utilizes ONLY dx9c files, thus the need to install dx 9c with either the dxsetup.exe (small file that downloads everything from MS) or the redistribution file (large file but useful if installing on several machines or need to reinstall to replace possible corrupted files).

Or

You will notice that it supports more than just XP.

Most games that come on a CD/DVD will also have a setup to install the updated modules by using one of the paths. For other games that are download only, they direct you to MS to download (using that site's bandwidth instead of their own) and perform the installation, from a trusted source

also make sure the following are installed too.

** 2) C++: http://www.microsoft...ls.aspx?id=5555

MWO now can run in DX11, but since you need to login to the game and change the setting to DX11 in the options menu, you'll need DX9c to get started.

I suppose one could manually update the setting file to start in DX11 mode but I wouldn't be able to provide exact instructions for that.

Greetings all,

Was there any error code generated on the 'stoppage' of the MWO client?
- either in the event viewer or from the MWO log files?
