Geoforce GT 600: can it work with DirectX 6 games?
Hi all,
I have a PC with a geoforce GT 600 video card, and Windows XP 32 bit. The videocard works fine, and Direct X 9 games run ok. However, I tried to install Worms Armageddon, an old title which requires Direct X 6, and it doesn't work: the game starts, but the colours soon get all messed up and the games freezes. Can it be a compatibility issue with DX6? Does my graphics card support DX6? Is there anything I can do? Thanks! |

Older games don't always cooperate with XP. Do you have the Worms v3.6.29.0
beta patch installed? It is apparently required for XP compatibility. http://wormsarmageddon.team17.com/ma...supp&area=upda -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.

However, I'm inclined to think it's more about the video card than the o.s. : my previous machine ran XP, and the same game used to work just fine. |
