isn't 1.07 DX6.1 or something? that's min DX version required to play the game on the requirements list.

I believe HTC previously stated that making a solely DX8 compatitible release is out of the question due to so many video card driver issues. So the next release will most likely be a refined variant of the latest betas that maintains full compatibility with DX7. No way would I expect 1.08 to be released as unstable as these betas have been. They are just betas after all. I only wish they could upgrade to DX8 or at least make it an option: I love the way Beta 9 looks on my computer. The terrain looks awesome even with FSAA turned off and its FPS is the same as when I run 1.07 or Beta 12.

I heard DX7 will be required with the release of 1.08. Pyro also said that they will beta test 1.08 prior to making it the primary download to squash any compatibility issues.

Fester, if you've got bugs to report, go to the DirectX Beta Forum. This is why it is in beta. All the bugs haven't been worked out yet.

if they switch to dx8 as the minimum in 1.08, well good bye account.
mind you the beta's are running without glitches on my system...well except for the 50% frame rate hit.

I beleive you should be testing it and reporting any problems you may have as HTC prolly has some nice eye candy stuff in store for us and the only stumbling block will be the customer base can't run it. If we use are puter base to help stop bugs before any release we are only helping ourselves. In the long run I would like HTC to have a product that is ahead of the competition. The survey I ran about the type of connection clearly indicated that the majority has high speed, therefore the size of download should not be limited and maybe more detail etc could be incorporated.

pugg666 I can't find any bug report from you as to your FPS problem in the dxbeta forum.
If its as bad as you say, please do, perhaps we can help.
