Microsoft said few times we will don’t have DirectX 10 in Windows XP, only in Vista.

Few russians tried to make a version for XP and until now released it a RC1 and now a RC2 version. Info here, (it’s in russian). I don’t try it, maybe next week…

edit: install now

So, it’s WORK, Enjoy! (and it’s in english, just the installer is in russian)

DOWNLOAD:
fast-load (no wait)
filebox
rapidshare

WHOAAAAAAA!!! :)
XP rules!
Vista sucks, man!
All the goodies of DX10 are outnumbered by the outrageous number of frustrations Vista is delivering…
Microsoft should make a separate version of XP for DX10, just for gamers.

Has anyone actually tried this yet?

I have heard it doesn’t work with Crysis.

I have also heard people say it offers an improvement in fps on Dx9 based games.

Basically I have heard alot of unconfirmed BS!

Would be nice to get some more feedback so we can start using this or fix it.

Hi there,
I really appreciate your work [Developers and hosts].
Would you kindly host the files using some other host, rapidshare never lets to download any files. Use some free file hosts like Filefront to host your files please!!!!!

Checking this out now. To the poster who said MS should make a dx10 for xp, theres a reason for it, they want u to buy Vista! Not that i can blame them. Either way, looking forward to checkin this out.

Crysis works you just have to switch some files, everything is explained in readme file but its on russian so find some program to translate it and then it’s easy, worked for me. It’s great but on my 8600gt it runs on only ~15fps

What we are asking is this…

1. Does it offer Improved Game Quality?
2. Does it offer Improves Frames Per Second(FPS)?
3. Can it be UNINSTALLED easily in case it doesnt work?

It would be great to have this Information at hand.

Thanks,

Shaun

You must have a DirectX 10 graphics card to see an improvement. Nvidia 8 series or higher or ATI 2000 series or higher.

IT WORKS!
installed RC2 fix2 ‘dx10_xp[btarena.org].exe’

Intel Q6600
ASROCK 4coredual sata2
Windows XP SP3
ATI 3870 DX10 Card (mobo limits pci-e @ 4x)
DXDiag.exe reports version 10.0
Crysis runs nice and smooth, cod4 framerates have increased. Not sure if dx10 has any bearing on this.

Okay. Update to my last comment. It turns out that DXDiag reports version DX10 is installed, but… my games don’t let me choose dx10 as an option. :(
