 Anyone seen hide or hair of it? Will it mess us up or be a cod-send??

 I`ve been using DirectX 8.0 RC1 for several weeks,if you value Roger Wilco don`t install it!  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)

 It causes D3D faults in Aces High if RW is enabled in game setup,I havent tried any work arounds as I haven`t been flying much the last few tours.

 Thanks Jihad. Even with the lates release of RW, the patch to the 1C version?
 I can't mess with RW because, well I like it, and if it's not running I seem to lose many, many sounds. Very odd bug.
 No DX8 for me then.
