Graphics Problem MEGATHREAD: DirectX (d3dx9_42.dll) issues

[Christopher Cannonskull]

the game loaded fine earlier but now the game crashes every time i open it right after i log in

 

[Redeemer]

I can't seem to load into cuba, and it's not that old problem where the loading screen was just stuck, instead it stays in the loading screen and never even loads the game at all.

When I install game it says its missing d3dx9_42.dll is missing and to try reinstalling. Not sure what to do. Now my reserved play time is over. Not sure if I have to reserve again, not sure why I'm getting error code. Anyone else have that issue

Run with opengl display Option or update to the latest direct x runtime software

 

[Darkslinger]

Does directx 9 not work?

 

[Andrea Coghlan]

which part do i add that too as i dont see anywhere to add that runtime on tlopo

 

[Jazzy]

The open Gl did not work because it was already checked. I am doing the Direct X thingy and we will see what happens. I didn't know where to save it and saved it to my desktop and now have a gazzillion tiny icons sheesh lol

Yikes When I tried it ofcourse my playtime is over so I can't see if the Direct X worked. Very frustrating.

i download the direct x but cant seem to add it to the tlopo game launcher, please help

My issue is it keeps telling me to update despite having updated at least 11 times already today! This is cutting into my playtime now and it is getting a tad ridiculous.

How do you "apply" the package? For me, my log keeps saying "Could not find icon filename resources/phase_4/etc/Pirates_Adds. ico" as a final line before crashing.
