Microsoft Releases DirectX November 2008 Update

OnBoard · Nov 7, 2008

It's the same package for every Windows and includes DX9, DX10 in 32bit and 64bit flavors. Redistributable version that is.

edit: last August version had Aug2008_d3dx9_39_x64.cab, Aug2008_d3dx9_39_x86.cab, Aug2008_d3dx10_39_x64.cab, Aug2008_d3dx10_39_x86.cab, Aug2008_XACT_x64.cab, Aug2008_XACT_x86.cab, Aug2008_XAudio_x64.cab, Aug2008_XAudio_x86.cab and same sort of stuff all the way back to 2005, hence it's size.

What is the benefit of installing these ?

DO they ever improve performance ?

Polarman · Nov 7, 2008

If they make updates for directx once every 3 months, that means it has some bugs. I think most game devs must submit reports to M$ to fix something that is not their fault.

erocker · Nov 7, 2008

Here is a link to the complete Nov. 08 package: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...56-C91A-4A8E-8BB8-9F20F1244A8E&displaylang=en

OnBoard · Nov 8, 2008

Like the complete package, always keep latest 2 just in case I need them again. Seemed to update punch of stuff and doesn't require reboot like 99% of software updates

Disruptor4 · Nov 8, 2008

Lol I get a failed to connect to the server error... or something along those lines.

Mussels · Nov 8, 2008

updating now, thanks.

Even If you have DX10, you still need to update DX9. DX10 does not included DX9.

Thats why Vista users with DX10 can still play DX9 games right?? :roll:

WarEagleAU · Nov 8, 2008

I was gonna say it wont let me connect and install. Nice to know we all have this problem and its being worked on.

..'Ant'.. · Nov 8, 2008

About time Microsoft fixes it. A few days a go it came out but didn't want to update online.

Polarman · Nov 8, 2008

The redist pack is there now.

Driver Compatibility has alot to do with these APIs aswell, i usually install these eachtime they come out to actually prevent any driver problems etc. Numerous Optimizations aswell.

can you provide a link as the 1 im finding is still aug 2008.

so no more news or what?

Seems to be working fine for me and i havent updated DX in Vista.......ever. I cancel out of the setups that games try to bring up for DX and they work fine.

ya most Games like that allow you to cancel out, others dont.

johnspack · Nov 9, 2008

Disruptor4 · Nov 9, 2008

Yeah I used that link.
I normally just use the dxwebsetup one. That way I don't have to download all the files even though I've got them already.
But in any case, it worked.

eidairaman1 · Nov 10, 2008

websetup tends to be faulty.

A whopping 80meg but im going to see if this actualy does anything (Getting the redist cause i too keep them)

Its the previous version with an update. Its been building up for years. DirectX10 was meant to be different.

fullinfusion · Nov 12, 2008

thanks for the link.... worked fine for me

Blueberry Pie · Nov 26, 2008

Bear with me guys, this is a stupid question (it would seem it's my turn) - but, hey , I'll learn.

I downloaded the redist pack, how do I go about updating dx 9 and 10? I have vista 64 bit, and should (wild guess) choose "Nov2008_d3dx9_40_x86" and "Nov2008_d3dx10_40_x86" - right?

However, extracting those - there's no installer? Yeah I know, my turn, but I'd be grateful for an answer (already did the google) =P

Thanks.

erocker · Nov 26, 2008

Just run the installer for everything and it will update what is needed.

DXsetup.exe

its an all in one installer, it updates both simultaneously. those files you're looking at, are the wrong ones.
