DirectX 9.0 includes security and performance updates, along with many new features across all technologies, which can be accessed by applications using the DirectX 9.0 APIs. It is required by almost all PC games and 3D applications.

That was fast! Microsoft sure is prompt in releasing this update. I remember back on their August 2009 DirectX update it took them a couple of months before uploading it publicly. I guess their on a rush now since Windows 7 is on a roll lately. Anyway, thanks for the update jalaffa..ever punctual & dependable as always! B)

I have a question.

I have windows 7, and directx 11.... why do they only update directx 9?

or does this update include updates for dx 10 and 11?

@kallejosef:

If you play a lot of games, especially old ones, it's better to install DirectX 9, 10, and 11.

@jalaffa:

Thanks for the update :)

That's right, going for it.

Thanks for the update.

Wow, more the 100MB

Thanx for the update. Last time in august it was around 90MB. :think:

They compile all the previous updates as archives into every new installer.

I wonder if there's a way of updating DirectX directly by downloading only needed files from internet rather than downloading whole installer again and again. I saw some game installers doing that.

It is on microsoft site here, it searches your pc and downloads only the updates

[DKT27]

Thanx. Plus repped. :)

Update:

Added link to an Online Installer.

Some applications only search for d3dx_41.dll, d3dx_42.dll,... on your system32 folder, so it could be the only thing needed xD

But curiously, MPC-HC likes to have latest DLL only, but beside main EXE (for some renderers that require Direct3D).

PS: Thanks jalaffa ;)
