:D  I'm looking forward to hearing more.

 I wonder if it can be used in the existing arenas or if it will have to be used in a seperare beta test arena.

Before you do, you better have every 'Critical update' from your OS before you do so, or you could have El Problemos!

Testing the software before release? Making sure that customers are capable of running it before they put it into production? Allowing customers to voluntarily help with debugging? Not hyping revolutionary new features that will make every other software obsolete as the result of a new change?
 What is the world coming to...  :)

Wouldn't that be a very major change?  (to go from one's own 3D geometry engine over to using the accelerated 3D of GeForces via D3D)  Sure would be nice tho!  Would then be able to up the number of polygons in the planes and terrains.

Ok, just what does this mean to us non-geek type puter guys?  What features are in DirectX 8.0 that we don't have now??

Lucky guys!
I've had problems with DirectX8 since I installed it... I can't run AH or CS twice without having to reboot... Really wierd Invalid Page Faults when I try to run a DX program without rebooting... Beware....


-Firecat

PS.  And yes I have the latest Video Drivers & OS updates... Could be the sound drivers I know, but I updated them too...(but that was a while ago...)
