DirectX 10 for windows XP

This is not an official upgrade. it has been doctored from an original alpha version which microsoft are creating for vista only. So be wary if you use it.
 
Trainz is designed for DirectX 9, so DX10 will not really make that much of a difference, if at all. DX 10 was designed solely for Vista, and as far as I know, Microsoft currently has no plans to make it run on XP.

I like the comparison pictures. The DX10 one was obviously brought into Photoshop and edited, no question about it.

Cheerio,

Yeah DX10 for Windows XP sounds rather far fetched, even if it is a patch. Some of the reviewers sound skeptical of this patch.
 
As psycho_aussie said above, Trainz uses DirectX 9 so therefore DirectX 10 will have no effect.

DirectX 10 was designed for Vista as it made changes in the Graphics Architecture with the introduction of WDDM (Windows Display Driver Model). DirectX 10 relies on the WDDM infrastructure and WDDM drivers to function correctly, mainly due to Vista supports virtualizing graphics hardware to multiple applications and services.

I would be very careful with the above "patch" if it is real.

A quick search found this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectX

This has been shown a while back, it is a very early alpha version they made some demos work with it under XP otherwise nothing
 
It makes no sense to try.. Trainz will not benefit from it, in fact it might make your system very unstable...
 
I downloaded a program which had to use directx and so to make it work I had to. I wonder if reinstalling direcctx 9 would take over from directx 10.

I've tried it with trainz and all it does is improve the water texture. and if you change the water texture it reverts back to the original texture.

Edit: P.s. I didn't see your posts until it was too late. Sorry. Thanks for the advice.
