D3D9 on Windows 10
category: general [glöplog]
Quick question, is D3D9 (not D3DX9) preinstalled on Windows 10 or do I have to use some obscure download? Diablo and Excess demos, you know...
Yes, for 32-bit at least, all versions of D3D are supported out-of-the-box (d3d12.dll, d3d11.dll, d3d10_1.dll, d3d10.dll, d3d9.dll, d3d8.dll, d3dim700.dll and d3dim.dll are all present).
For 64-bit, you get D3D9 and higher (there never were 64-bit compatible SDKs for lower versions of D3D).
No D3DX of course. Also, you only get D3DCompiler_47.dll, no older versions.
So when you want to run vanilla D3D9 code, with precompiled shaders, things should be okay.
If the code tries to run a shader compiler, either via D3DX or by directly calling a D3DCompiler DLL, it won't work.
