@elder sinew

[elder sinew]

Did you install the one that opened after you clicked "Yes"?

[merry rock]

I installed 2010 and latest one

[elder sinew]

Could you install it again from this link? https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35

[merry rock]

Ye I did install it from this link exactly

OS: windows 11 pro btw

[elder sinew]

Do you have a d3dx9_43.dll in your game's folder?

[merry rock]

wait let me check this

also nice pfp bro I like it

[elder sinew]

That or d3d9.dll

[elder sinew]

Thanks

[merry rock]

no it didn't (I got it from Steam)

[elder sinew]

Can you check whether these files exist in C:\Windows\SysWOW64?

[merry rock]

Found this

[elder sinew]

Ok, try moving it away from the game folder and try launching again

[merry rock]

also found this

[elder sinew]

In SysWOW64 or game folder?

[merry rock]

SysWOW64

Ok trying launching it now

[elder sinew]

Try copying both of them into the game folder

But keep them in SysWOW64 too.

[merry rock]

I did and still same error

[elder sinew]

Just to confirm, you have both d3d9.dll & d3dx9_43.dll in both game folder & SysWOW64, right?

[merry rock]

Exactly

[elder sinew]

Ok so could you delete d3d9.dll & d3dx9_43.dll from your game folder, then re-install https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35 with your AV disabled?

[merry rock]

shall I press this ?

[elder sinew]

Yes, you should click Download and once it downloads, run it to install the dependencies

[merry rock]

I disabled this so its alright ? (Only using windows defender)

[elder sinew]

Yes, you can enable it once installation is complete

[merry rock]

Still same error

[elder sinew]

Try restarting

[merry rock]

I did

same error

Idk whats wrong with my OS

before installing the tiberian launcher thing renegade was working

and when I uninstall tiberian thing and run on clean renegade it works

[elder sinew]

@low kernel Any ideas?

[elder sinew]

One more thing, does the "game2.exe" or "game.exe" executables in your game folder have any compatibility settings enabled?

[merry rock]

fresh renegade works
TTL doesnt

[merry rock]

Nope!

[elder sinew]

Try running as administrator?

[merry rock]

still

[elder sinew]

This is the offline DirectX redist installer from TT server package, can you try extract all the files in this somewhere and run DXSETUP.EXE?

[merry rock]

Ok wait

still 😭

my AV is disabled

my mind gonna blew up until I know why this is happening

[merry rock]

Any idea guys?

[merry rock]

@elder sinew I still have the issue

cant open the game bro

[merry rock]

@elder sinew uhm please welp

[elder sinew]

I have no idea what the issue is assuming you have installed redists correctly, you may try turning off AV completely as a last resort

[merry rock]

ah k

I just feel it that Windows 11 isn't compatible anymore

knowing that when developing these games they were intended to work on XP and older OS

[elder sinew]

Whole point of TT is to keep game compatible with newest OSes

Or you may have a very specific hardware that lack support for various features

[merry rock]

idk maan I got Dell Alienware laptop

everything in my laptop like every old game from 1990-2025 works on my laptop

just Renegade after TT installation started to not working
