WC3 & DirectX 9.0b on XP

[Guest]

anybody had a bad experience with DirectX9 (9.xxxx) - Warcraft III on XP Pro?

I just had my slooow system (2nd PC) super tweaked in order to get the performance I want using DirectX8.1 for WC3 playing and I want to try newer games on it. If there are even minor issues w/ it. I'd rather not install it on this PC.

btw, could I simply use system restore to remove DirectX9 just in case?

thanks,

Hi Revnouz,

You're right on the money. Set a restore point before installing
DX 9.0b (mind you the version that installed with Halo setup
the restore point for me automatically! DX 9.0b should
give you more performance and quality, but it's still nice to have
that safety net.
