    i dont know the DX version but my specs are:

    Q6600
    3GB ram
    8800m GTX
    Vista Ultimate 64bit

    after giving up on that i downloaded it from somewhere else - but during the insatll it said something failed but i was still able to play it - except every time i go to match it crashes :(

    well i have fixed the issue about the game not working before the game - but now i need to fix the issue of it not working after the game - this is really poor why release a demo if the thing doesnt work the actual game had better be better then this this is just poor :(

    the demo is pretty buggy, the program has been stopped working for 3 times on my pc, really dissapointed. The game is due in two weeks, I doubt they will fix everything by then.

    yeah i got it working and hasnt stopped working since - loving it
    the only buggy area i have found in during the 3d match there times where it stuttrers but all players feet are still moving and everything

    the only thing so far im disappointed with is the 3d match engine its ugly! but i hope they can improve that in some way
