View Full Version : Max 5.0 and Directx 9.0b?

I'm currently running Max 5.0 (no updates installed) with Directx 8.1, WinXP on an AMD 1900+, and haven't had any problems. However, my old geforce 3 card kicked the bucket, so I got a new geforcefx 5200 128mb card.

I was about to install Directx 9.0b, but I vaguely remember reading something about Max 5.0 not working with Directx 9.

Is this the case? Does Max 5.0 not work with Directx 9?

If so, do I need to install the max 5.1 update? Do I also need to install the service pack?

Alsom, what order? Install Directx 9 first, or the 5.1 update?

Any info appreciated, know I've asked a few questions here, didn't want to run into problems with Max.

Cheers

Im running a softmodded 9500 ->9800pro and its running fine in 3dsmax with the 3d Max direct x 9 update file available from www.discreet.com somewhere. I dont think the order really matters, but max wont run with directx 9 unless u have the update isntalled.

you need 5.1 and then the dx9 service pack.

you can install dx9 at any point.
