user Yates has written
It's running OpenGL, you'll have to do what DC said if you want it to be DX, (Which might just work for you).
user DC has written
just launch it with -dx commandline parameter to run it with directx.


Yates sry but I dont understand you, and I think u say to open another .exe of DirectX?

create a .bat-file in your Carnage Contest folder with the text
1
CarnageContest.exe -dx
inside it. Run this file whenever you want to play Carnage contest.

Because I could not edit the CC.exe I created a shortcut, gave the place where it is found (C:/users/yates/CC/CarnageContest.exe -dx, this is what I did. Yours might be somewhere different. But add the -dx behind it).

I added a .bat file to launch CC with DirectX.
just re-download and doubleclick the CarnageContest -DirectX.bat in your CC folder to launch the game with DirectX.

about the error you mentioned: I never heard about that before sorry

what are your system specifications?
is your PC as good as the following (or better)? these are the recommended specifications:
Quote
Direct3D or OpenGL compatible video card, 256 mb VRAM or more
1 GHZ processor or faster (Intel or AMD. PPC is NOT supported)
1 GB RAM or more (at least 2 GB for Vista/7!)
At least 50 MB free disk space
Windows (2000,XP,Vista,7), Linux or MacOS with Direct3D/OpenGL compatible drivers
A good and fast internet connection is recommended

(note that CC has higher requirements than CS2D because of the destructible terrain)
