Direct X10 in Windows XP

[liamp51]

Hi all,

 

I was wondering if there is any way to have DX10 run on Windows XP. I have all SF2 titles and addon packs merged into one install, but get pretty bad FPS over Hanoi, Haiphong and other areas of North Vietnam. It's quite irritating because SF2V is the only part of the sim that I get really bad FPS on(25 or lower!). I don't think it's possible without upgrading to Win7 which I can't do right now due to it's price. If not, then I guess I'll just have to keep saving my pennies!

 

Thanks!

Nope! DX10 will never run on WinXP. There are some that claim that you can install some of the files etc but it will never really run. It was not written for XP and it will never be.

Micro$oft explicity said when they created DX10 that it would only work on Vista or later OS's, not XP.
