Thanks for the info.

Microsoft says it is full compatible with DirectX 8.x, and even
suggests upgrading for multi-player and online games. Maybe the EQ
developers just haven't had a chance to test and approve it yet?

Unfortunately it cannot be uninstalled anyway according to the
Microsoft FAQ:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/productinfo/overview/faq.asp

The biggest problem we have right now is that when zoning, after
waiting 5 minutes, it crashes back to the server screen more often
than not.

Thanks again.

Regards.

yet... this might be some of the problem. Sony is saying to stay with
DirectX 8.1 for now.
