i wonder if i did some kind of mistake?

#

interesting

#

it might have been a file deleted by windows defender or your antivirus

mint wren Jul 22, 2024, 5:49 AM

#

nope

#

that's because this user has never had a direct x9 on their PC

whole vortex Jul 22, 2024, 5:49 AM

#

ohh

mint wren Jul 22, 2024, 5:49 AM

#

you'll have to download directx 3d 9 from the official microsoft since you seem to have a new PC

#

all new PC's don't come with the old stuff, so old games have to download directx 9

The Microsoft DirectX® End-User Runtime installs a number of runtime libraries from the legacy DirectX SDK for some games that use D3DX9, D3DX10, D3DX11, XAudio 2.7, XInput 1.3, XACT, and/or Managed DirectX 1.1. Note that this package does not modify the DirectX Runtime installed on your Windows OS in any way.

I'm wrong

Win7/8/8.1/10 all have  of DX - 9,10 and 11.```

Note that the Web Installer only installs 'missing' files and does not overwrite corrupt files as does

the full DX Redist installer.

#

please let me know if any of this has helped you

#

so I can put this in the FAQ MamiPray

whole vortex Jul 22, 2024, 6:00 AM

#

I don't know if you need to

#

isn't the whole point of an FAQ is that it's... frequent questions/problems ?

#

unless you have seen this several times before

mint wren Jul 22, 2024, 6:01 AM

#

well

#

better to have it on there

#

in case someone is looking for it

whole vortex Jul 22, 2024, 6:01 AM

#

I guess so MamiShrug

mint wren Jul 22, 2024, 6:01 AM

#

like one of those "oh, maybe the instruction manual has some help"

#

you never know

#

I mean, given that aocf has to use dx9, I'm surprised this is the first time I've seen anyone ask about dx9 (besides unyu as well)

#

and the way I got him through that? downloading dx9 =T

#

anyway, I'm going to sleep

#

night

whole vortex Jul 22, 2024, 6:02 AM

#

gn sog DoremySmile

#

anyway, if you have other issues, I am available for a little longer before I go to sleep

worthy stump Jul 22, 2024, 6:06 AM

#

Hmm from what i looked up it seems i have to open windows feature to enable direct play, but it still shows up...?

worthy stump Jul 22, 2024, 6:18 AM

#

mint wren ```This solved half the equation for me trying to play DX9 games on Windows 10. ...

yeah it still shows the same pop up.

whole vortex Jul 22, 2024, 6:21 AM

#

MikoThink

#

I don't know if directx install works without a restart so maybe try that

#

other than that, I do not know

worthy stump Jul 22, 2024, 6:35 AM

#

Ah so what i end up doing was installing DirectX.

whole vortex Jul 22, 2024, 6:37 AM

#

yes

worthy stump Jul 22, 2024, 6:39 AM
