No, i didn't get pwned, you're just ignorant. You would by any chance be trying to run the game on a Geforce FX card now would you? Those cards don't fully support DX9, just a cut down of Shader Model 2.0. Reason you can run other games in "DX9 mode" is because the FX cards had Shader Model 2.0, so most games assumed that your card could cope, while most of the time they couldn't.
If you had actually LOOKED at the link i posted, rather than type blindly on, you would see that Geforce FX cards resort to DX8, while anything from a Geforce 6200 onwards defaults to Shader Model 3.0 DX9 mode, using the Source engine.
I'm not trying to flame you, i'm just trying to make you realise that what you think is true, is completely wrong. Happens all the time in life i'm afraid.
