Posted by Remora:

Just saw over at Voodoo Extreme that the international version of the Red Faction PC demo has been released! They have a few screenshots as well. The demo weighs in at 128MB ... once I get it downloaded (using the T3 I am sitting on, w00t) I will post it on 3D Downloads as a better mirror than Poland.

Or, if you don't feel like waiting, direct linkage: http://www.gry-online.pl/S030.asp?ID=778

There is a way to get the demo to work in winxp

1. Download DX8.0a for win2k
2. extract the exe into a empty directory
3. copy d3d8.dll from that directory to the red faction directory..
and tada red faction will now work

i think redfaction may be having problems with the DirectX 8.1 beta

Maybe because the O/S and drivers are BETA - hence they probably won't work in all situations. Just another reason for why I think using beta software is retarded (especially the O/S)

That wasn't my point. My point was that using a beta O/S and/or beta drivers as your primary mode is simply insane.

Heh ... when will they ever learn?

Uhm, something is still beta until it is released. Having a different term (i.e. "release candidate") doesn't change that fact.

Besides, you still didn't understand my last reply. I wasn't saying the demo doesn't work because of the operating system. I said using XP before it is patched about three times is insane.

And I would rather not read your bitching about how sh!t doesn't work with your beta operating system.
