demons breath "You've got another post with exactly the same thing on just below this..."
Didn't want the demo to get lost in the fog of that discussion as I already posted a demo with a wheeled vehicle.
Plus with the 'fall out' fpsc9 comp getting underway a separate reference seemed more appropriate.
Note: To anyone running the demo - If like me you use windows up to xp for Dark Basic you probably already know that Dark Basic does not run on Vista as Vista uses a different version of Direct X. The 'run as previous version of windows' does not get around this.
Just thought I should mention this.
Microsoft seems to have messed up on this as their original promise was that all subsequent versions of Direct X would support all previous versions.
I have lots of games and demos I have collected over the years that wont run on vista for the same reason.
On reflection vista must be a 'dog' of a system or windows 7 wouldn't have been rushed out so soon. My opinion only as the only reason I bought it was to run fpsc10 and it couldn't even manage that properly.
If windows 7 re-introduces support for previous direct x I would gladly bin vista.
XP is the system I use all the time as it supports all the existing games and software.
Just had a thought - Maybe it's just the Vista Pro version I have that's crap and the other editions are working fine.
Any comments?
