Is Direct X 9.0b available?

Postby JBaymore » Thu Jun 19, 2003 9:54 pm

I saw somewhere here that Direct X 9.0b is available.  However I just went to the Microsoft site and could only find the "a" version.

Is the "b" version available?

Thanks.

best,

 I'm gonna make a guess that if you didn't find it at Microsofts site, then it was probably a rumor, or maybe it is coming soon.

I'm pretty sure the 9.0a version is the latest, and maybe someone mis-named it to 9b in confusion.

MS sort of owns it now so any release would be on their site.

Thanks for the replies.

Yeah.... that is kinda' what I figured.  But sometimes there are things "tucked" away on websites that don;t show up under the typical search.

I also wonder if the mention I saw was actually old and was refering to DX 9 ....BETA..... being finally released?

Anyway...... I have the latest 9.0a already.  For my issues...it apparently does not work  :'(.

Thanks.

best,

I heard that 9b was for windows 98 only because 9a was too buggy on it, yet runs fine on XP.
