Tanktics
 

Anyone remember this old game? (1999)

I'm having problems running it though.
Whenever I execute the game, a message pops up and says "Incorrect version of DirectX"

I have the latest version but i'm thinking it wants DirectX 6.

Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

BTW if you need more details, just ask.

Any and all help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Ahh...I am an idiot. Posted in wrong area.
If any mod would be kind enough to move this thread I would very much like it done.

Sorry...:doh:

I blame y2k.

If you're running this app under windows xp you may want to try running it using some compatability mode settings for windows 98. right click on the programs executable file and there should be a tab for 'compatability' where you can select from a few different running options.

Weird I could've sworn i had a game in the 80's called Tanktics too.

I tried the Windows 98 compatability and it got past the DirectX issue.

Now it says "API Error" after it starts up.

I'm thinking I need an old component from windows 98 or something.
