Not sure about disabled but I had some issues after switching to DirectX 9.0c. While this may be related to my vid card (Radeon 9700 Pro), it may be happening to others.


I boot up on account and load in. Alt+Tab out and boot up account number two. At this point, I normally jump back to account number one. For about a month, I kept getting an error telling me that DirectX failed to start up and that I should try restarting or reinstalling DirectX to fix this problem. I restarted, reinstalled and reformated and still kept getting the same error.


About a week ago, a friend who uses the same card had two of his accounts on so I knew it wasn't the card. This time, I waited so see if I would get the error message before Tabing back into SWG.


It seems that if you have SWG active, DirectX WILL NOT boot the second account. Take a few minutes and as soon as the LucasArts screen come up, you can Tab back in at that point.


Hope this helps you some.

Has this been really disabled now?
Doesn't seem to work again.

I really hope not - I've JUST enabled it for the first time so I can give my alt malitia powers. Seeing as only the mayor can grant said status, I was hoping to make it work at least for 60 seconds...
