    Ahh, the installer should have taken care of that for you, but it looks like it didn't. Go grab the directX Web installer off of Microsoft's website. That should resolve it. (When building the installer, I specifically tried to account for the case you're seeing, but there are enough different machine configs, it's not surprising it might fail in some cases).

    How odd. I enabled "Run in compatibility mode" set to Windows 7 and it works now. Strange because I'm on Windows 7??

    Did that happen to force it to run as administrator, and was it previously running as administrator?

    Is there eany chance of you guys pushing the launcher to steam, and let steam manage the default stream, and let the launcher handle the alternative streams?

    I seem to be unable to switch to the PTE build. Am I missing something? Clicking on my username (or anywhere else for that matter) doesn't give me any sort of options menu, build selection or otherwise.

    Only a small thing, but any chance you could have the launcher remember your password!

    The new installer is great. My only complaint is I preferred the old icon to the new PA logo :D

    EDIT: holy balls I found Game Settings. Quality setting: Uber, 175% supersampling.

    Why did I not realise PA could look this good?!

    I found the issue... somehow I'd downloaded the old launcher :mad:.

    Redownloaded the launcher,(meaning I got the new one) and am patching the PTE now.
    Thanks guys!

    Minor issue: need spacing at the bottom of the current patch notes :p

    Major issue: launcher hangs when Verifying if your launcher/game is, in fact, already up to date. The Cancel button works, but still!

    Windows 8.1 (Update 1), 64-bit.

    Doh. I think the version of the DX DLL I include must have been modified for Windows 8. I'll grab a clean version from a Windows 7 install and rebuild it with the installer next time.

    /bangheadagainstwall This is why I hate DirectX.

    why do extremely heavy tanks of the future have to drive around trees? I think bigger tanks at least advanced, maybe also inferno should roll over trees

    Have you ever tried running over a tree? They're resilient little buggers. :)

    depends both on the size of the tree and the tank, but just google tank over tree and you will find some videos of tanks rolling over medium sized trees.
