Here’s the headache—I went ahead and installed DirectX 9.0 C, and while Everest is actually acknowledging it's running on version 9, dxdiag is still stubbornly insisting that I'm on version 11.
Look, I get it—it feels pretty ridiculous that Windows 7 users are getting locked out of playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Every time I try to fire this thing up, I’m hit with that annoying "DirectX has encountered an unrecoverable error; please read the readme for possible solutions" message. I've been digging through forums trying to figure out if it's a DirectX issue, and from what I can tell, it seems like the game is strictly looking for DirectX 9 support. Apparently, the only real fix people are talking about is a full reinstall of Windows. What a joke.
I'm calling it quits. I just can't find any way to get Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 to actually run. Now I'm left wondering—do I seriously need to try reinstalling DirectX 11? Because dxdiag is telling me I've got version 11, but then Everest shows me DirectX 9... honestly, I'm completely lost here.
I’d honestly just scrap it—mostly because I’m convinced it’s the thing keeping me from actually launching Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. I wouldn't go as far as a full delete, though; I'd probably just downgrade it back to the latest version of DirectX 9. Sean Moore77, I'll give that a shot.
Look, I’ve got a massive problem with biting my nails—but it’s specific. It’s just my two index fingers; I don't touch the others at all. It’s gotten to the point where it feels less like a bad habit and more like a full-blown addiction—maybe even an actual disorder—because honestly, stopping feels impossible. I haven't reached out for help before because I always figured it was just "normal," you know? I've been doing this for as long as I can remember. Those two nails? They never grow past a centimeter. On top of that, I have a real issue with my cuticles. I end up picking at them until they actually bleed—I'm talking enough blood to cover my whole finger—and then my hands get so weak and sore I can barely do anything with them. Does anyone here know how someone deals with a case this intense?
Look, I was just playing defense with an X, but whatever—as long as we end up in the green, who cares...
For tomorrow, I’m eyeing Spain-France to be a scoreless first half (2.75). My gut says both sides are going to play it safe and stay cautious instead of throwing everything at the wall early on. Honestly, a draw at the end wouldn't surprise me one bit.
As for the second matchup, I’m taking under 2.5 goals for Naftan-Gomel. Looking at the numbers, Naftan’s goal difference is 9:16, while Gomel sits at 16:5 over 13 games. They recently played a cup match that ended 0:0, and most of their recent outings have stayed well under that 2.5 line. In their 13 league games, Gomel only went over four times, and Naftan 6th coefficient is sitting around 1.55-1.60. (Btw, this pairing isn't even listed on PSK, no idea why they left it out).
All I've got left is Germany—they knocked out Portugal and Miami yesterday... honestly, I'm torn on whether to back them or not. I’m leaning toward sticking with them using an X... I just don't see the Greeks posing any real threat to the net at all.
