Posted March 9, 200916 yr Is there any possible way to change the DirectX setting on the retail version of FC2 without opening it? My copy closes itself about 1 second into the first splash screen due to some problem with my 4870 and DX10 on FC2. If I run FC2 in different compatibility options, it runs like shit with a chuggy framerate and rediculous loadtimes. I'd be grateful to anyone who could help with this, I got about 2 hours into the game til the DX10 was updated by some tool and was just getting into the fucking thing when I tried to load the game again.

Still don't know the problem. Screen shots or errors and/or system specs.
March 9, 200916 yr Copied and paste the error code in google, thats how i find out those things. Good luck
March 9, 200916 yr Author There is no error code unfortunately and there is nothing to screenshot. Literally it will begin to play the Ubisoft splash screen then after about a second or less it will close down, no error message. Specs are: Gigabyte EP45-UD3R Q6600 2.4ghz 4gb DDR2 ATi 4870 HD 1GB Vista 64bit I've heard some rumours that through FC2's numerous issues, there is an outstanding one involving ATi HD cards and DX10. I can run the game in 98/ME compatibility but the framerate is terrible and the loadtimes are through the roof. I need to change the DX settings to see if putting it on to DX9 will solve the issues as some people have reported that it atleast solves their problems for the time being. Problem is I can't get onto the damn options screen and the option to choose DX9 or 10 only appears if you are using Vista's compatibility.
