to check directx, run a directx diagnostic
go to START>RUN
type in "dxdiag"
click "ok"

should say "system information" at bottom needs to say "directX 9.0...."

mine says "directX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)"

--alot of betas will ask for a copy of the dxdiag file, disney doesnt because if you use the "bugreport" file (located in the PiratesOnline folder), it sends a copy of the game log files, u can read this info too

in the PiratesOnline folder, files called "launcher-(numbers)" open the most recent one.
this will list your hardware, windows version, dx info, between the start of the file, and
"trying to start spash and sefl path"

Thanks so much! Yes I do have the current version installed, but its nice to know how to figure that out. Ran all of the tests and everything seems to be running just fine. I have no clue what causes the severe freeze. I guess it could be server related, but no one else seems to be having freeze times as long as I am. I also can't seem to get my fps rate any higher than around 30.
