Crierd 24 Posted July 19, 2010 Well, I've been playing ArmA 2 and OA since they both came out and decided to buy a Track IR 5. I installed it and everything worked fine until I tried to start my game (Steam Version). When I launch my game with the Track IR software running (which is required for it to work) I get the following error. "Cannot Initalize DirectInpit. (DirectX 8 Required)" When the software is not running, my game works fine. I've tried googling this with no luck and I also installed as you may have guessed Direct X 8 and 9 with no luck. 3.25GB of Ram AMD Phenom 2.4 Quad Core Processor ATI 4870 and the latest drivers (catalyst version 10.6) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EDcase 87 Posted July 20, 2010 Did you install THIS DirectX 9? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crierd 24 Posted July 20, 2010 Yeah, I just installed it and tried it. Same error =( PS. I'm have to run TrackIR 5 Software in administrator mode in order for it to work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EDcase 87 Posted July 20, 2010 Version of Arma? Would be useful to list everything at the beginning. May not be related but I read that ATI users had problems with Cat 10.6 and found 10.4 much better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crierd 24 Posted July 20, 2010 (edited) It's posted in the OA section so i am trying it on Operation Arrowhead but it also does not work on ArmA 2. Edited July 21, 2010 by Crierd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
