Mafia 2 issue Appears to be reinstalling directx every time it launches
I'm running the 1.33 beta cd drivers, and I just bought the game yesterday. It says performing first time setup, installing directx for windows. It does this every time I play, takes forever and is annoying as hell. Anyone else have this issue?

I don't have that as an issue but everytime I try to play in 3-d all the objects turn black. I have tried every setting possible.

You have to install the lastest 258.96 drivers, regular and stereo, to eliminate that problem. Make sure you are using the ones with the latest dates. The 3D drivers will specifically say they fix Mafia 2.

CD 1.34 is the newest version. Mafia II runs perfectly with the latest drivers! For me one of the most impressive games in 3D.

I don't like the idea running beta drivers, I have to wait for the next WHQL realise (hopefully it will be soon).
Thanks for the replay anyway
