Direct3D: August 2009 or newer DirectX Runtime required

Post by Balthazar »

The subject is the error message I get from a game (actually WinUAE) when trying the Direct3D version. It then tries to send me to a web page to download newer drivers/runtime/whatever it's asking for. My question is: If I do install it, will it mess up with the drivers installed by the Guest Additions CD? Should I leave it as it is, or install it?

EDIT: Since I'm running MacOS X Tiger, my VBox version is 3.0.12, not 3.1.2.

No responses so far. In case anyone find this thread through a search, I'll tell you that I did try to install the newer drivers as the game told me, and it didn't work. Later, I upgraded my MacOS so I could install the newest version of VirtualBox, and their newest Guest Addition. Still didn't work, now with a different error message. I'll put this down to Direct3D support still being experimental in VBox.
