Downloading Directx 10 Error

General discussion about Rail Simulator that doesn't really fit in to any specific category. A good place to start if you're not sure what category it should fit in to as well.

Downloading Directx 10 Error

Post by TheTazman »

Hi

I am having problems trying to download Direct X 10 for KRS. I have been to the MS website and selected it for download. It downloads a small file first then says:

I have tried this a good few times and keep getting the same error. I dont think i am getting the best graphics at the moment as I am using DX9 that came with the KRS install CD.

Can anyone tell me please what may be wrong?

Its a problem at Microsoft's end I believe as I get the same error. Perhaps you could try the August 08 one instead.

I was wrong I think, there is only one web download link. You could try downloading the November redist version

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... layLang=en

Just download the whole package, run it and put the contents into a separate folder and then run the DX setup from the folder.

Thanks john i did not want to just randomly download files just wanted to make sure i was getting the correct one.

I will give it a go now and see how KRS looks then.... DX 9 is blurry.

Would you say i am loosing some quality here?

I have atmospheric filtering set to 8, when i increase to 16 it all goes to pot. The coaches futher towards the rear look quite pixelated to me.

KRS is not using any of the DirectX 10 updates contained in the Nov. 08 DirectX redistributable. KRS is a DirectX 9 application not DirectX 10.

When you update your DirectX with the redistributable or the web updtate you are updtating DirectX 10 and 9 if you are using Vista.

Increase antialiasing value and increase mipmapping value in your graphic card settings.
