Applies to gamers and game server admins and admins of systems that have servers or clients that use DirecTx interactive apps. This is a June patch that came up while I was not home to read about it, it has not gotten much notice, and can stop games from being DOS-crashed remotely via a DirectX\iDriectPlay4 submodular crash. There is more info there that gamers especially, among enthusiasts, might take note of, as lots of web games use this particular module to interact on the web. Because it affects games a lot, I stuck the first and major post in Gaming.
