Release Candidate 2 (October 6)

Build (0710)

For the RC2 release, we have provided you with the DirectX 8.1 Runtime and SDK downloads. Your assistance in quickly evaluating the quality of this RC is appreciated! We ask that you install the Release Candidate as soon as possible and provide us with your immediate feedback. Bug reports must be received by October 12th to have any chance of affecting the final release.

The only change between RC1 and RC2 is one fix in D3D8.dll relating to alpha in texture palettes. If you have not encountered this issues, you do not need to download RC2.

A big THANK YOU! goes to The C-A-D for hosting the files :)

NOTE: These files are not for WinXP! The version of DX in XP is already final.
