ive posted this on forums.steampowered.com, hoping they could help me, and i didnt get a response. sooo im coming here for help <3
im getting a new computer next month, quad core 3.0 GHz, 8 gb of ram, and an Nvida GTX 260, in case youre wondering. but as of now, i have a problem with my brick. it doesnt run games in DX 9 without crashing. sooo...yeah. is there a way to get this, or any game for that matter, to run in DX8?

regards

No, but you can play it in OpenGL.

No, but you can play it in OpenGL.

i will try openGL then. thanks for the response
i remember last time i tried it...back in 07, it messed up all my textures. i selected it on accident in the drop down menu. The ground n stuff was white, and when i moved it flashed colors, generally not a good thing. ;)
im gonna update my drivers too, as that might have been a problem.

im working to get the parts for my gaming rig here cheaper and faster. is ebay any good for buying computer parts or should i stick to newegg?

regards

edit: i believe you, but why can't you run dx9 games in a lower dx level? Team fortess 2, counter strike source, i guess mainly games hosted on the Steam Client, you can add a parameter to the launch options, "-dxlevel" that lets you run them as low as you want.
