it looks and works beautifully for me, i too didnt have the latest dx, i just dl'd the dll from a free dll website tho, prolly should update my dx, but i didnt feel like it. I cant wait for this to come out.

An astonishing 1 FPS, but it works
And that with an intel chipset on a notebook...

doesnt help here...

a few posts earlier, materials.c on material_startup function (around line 35) before all effect_load() s.

now i get this:


but the fx file looks ok to me

In the "mtl_terrainmulti2" material, the ".fx" and double quotes are missing in the effect file name. I think a STRING name wont work here.

effect = "MLTITex2.fx";

Once you fixed it it runs like a charm! This is the best A7 app that I have ever seen!

Update!

Here is the new Beta Version 0.3;
it is much faster now, supports shader model 2 and has a Depth of Field shader.

pass: "a7"

IT RUNS WITH 350 FPS ON MY PC.
(when the Navi is not rendered)
DON'T USE THE DEBUGMODE (F11) TO CHECK THE FPS, YOU LOSE A LOT OF FRAMES!!!
