DirectX 8.2 = DirectPlay 8.2 Final

Published by

Following on from CFS3 contains DirectX8.2..? Posted by snave! Seems that some sites have got hold of the final build of DirectPlay 8.2 Final that will update your DirectX 8.1b to DirectX 8.2. This update was meant for Peeps that got MS Combat Flight Simulator 3 or New World Order!

We have found that Microsoft's DirectX8.1 will create a massive lag. To solve this problem Microsoft has created especially for New World Order and MS Combat Flight Simulator 3 a DirectX 8.1 patch (DirectPlay 8.2). The DirectPlay 8.2 beta patch is set to expire on October 31, 2002 . However, the final release of the DirectPlay 8.2 patch will be available prior to this expiration date allowing plenty of time to upgrade the beta to the final release. DirectX 9 will also contain this patch.

Please note: This release is neither time-bombed nor is it a beta! This can be considered a minor release as only the DirectPlay-API has been updated.

I've had some reports that it help out in Morrowind!

Well its running fine for me after being a little unsure of it all. If it does just update a few minor areas I have to say for some reason it seriously helped my performance in Morrowind and I can now play the game with Quin based anti-aliaisng and at a decent frame rate.
