Can't even run sh4.exe! (FIXED)

Reece · 03-23-07, 07:57 AM

Hi, just recieved my collectors edition, installed the game, applied the patch then restarted computer, I didn't install DX9c as I already have this version (april 2006) however when I start SH4 I get this message:

Could someone tell me what gives please!

Perhaps try a re-install with the DX version supplied?

Yep, re-installing DirectX should do it.

Reece · 03-23-07, 08:04 AM

But I don't want too,

I have grown to love my existing DirectX90c!

Suppose I'd better, see ya later!

I should've just reinstalled DX in the first place but I always say "If it aint broke don't fix it!" but there ya go must have been someting different in my old version of dx90c to this new dx90c, why couldn't they just call it dx90d!

Thanks!

Yep, there was a DX9c update that I got when I installed my new graphics card. Had to go to a MS link to get it. It didn't say DX9d tho and now I wonder if there is a new DX called 9d or just the one with SH4. Strange.

I had the same problem. It loaded fine after I used the supplied DX version. Too bad I can only load the game and not really play it yet.
