downloading... hope it's worth the money.

Wish I could bring myself to buy Eagle Day, too. If it had an Editor and higher resolution, I would have. But $50 is too much for an updated game system.

that you have the latest directx 9 in the system

Status: offline 		No, it would be more accurate to say that Windows Vista does not support DirectX 9, which this game requires. The game installer installs DirectX 9 by default, but some people unchecked that option thinking that Vista would already have it. Logically, you might think so, but DirectX 10 does not fully support DirectX 9.

I know this is not the place but nothing Microsoft did with Vista makes any sense. Hard to fathom what they were thinking.

BTW, this game is excellent so far. Another quality product from you folks.

Status: offline 		I finally bought the game 24 hours ago, and it did not take long to realize this is another Matrix winner. The FEW naysayers seem to be big babies. So far the game has been a pure joy to look at and play(still don't get that 'so 90's graphics' remark. So, here goes my broken record again GREAT JOB-I have now purchased 54 Matrix games, and had JUST one disappointment. No other gaming company has those stats with me. Gotta get back to changing history, thanks again.

I would say that "54 Matrix purchases!" rates pretty high in the accomplishments category as well. Good job!

I need to understand something here if dx9 has not been installed on a Vista system but dx10 does a player still need to let dx9 install and overrite dx10 files?

That's correct - you need to install DirectX 9. However, it does NOT overwrite DirectX 10. They coexist and it's perfectly safe to do.

Status: offline 		Well Zap, I am proud that Matrix has had 54 products that I wanted. I have bought several games from each of several other companies, I think the most would be the "Heroes of Might & Magic" series, and the Civ franchise. But no one comes close to the great MATRIX.
