MP possible with directX 8.1?

Fri May 02, 2003 2:29 am by Spaceman Spliff

The subject pretty much says it. I've heard plenty of bad things about directX9 so I didn't bother installing it when I installed Freelancer.
The game ran fine and I finished the single player and would like to try MP.
I can't join any server though. Even one that I host on my machine.

Is this because the game REQUIRES DX9 for MP or is some other issue likely?

My system is plenty fast enough and my net connection is cable. (tried with the firewall disabled)

It requires it, as far as I know. Having no problems with DirectX 9a here, you might want to just give it a shot and if it's horrible, use one of the many DirectX uninstallers that have come out recently.
