DirectX 9.0c vs. RTW

**Remise** · October 16, 2011, 08:29 PM

First, my apologies. I know this issue has probably been discussed to death, but after reading posts and replies here in half a dozen other forums, I still cannot resolve my problem.

I have DirectX 9.0c on Windows XP. I have no problems with ETW, NTW, or Shogun 2. For some reason, nostalgia is sending me back to RTW, so I can try out a new mod. But when I attempt to run the game -- you have read this before, of course! -- I am told I need DirectX 9.0. And then, when I attempt to install 9.0, I am told I have a newer version presumably "c." and thus don't need it.

But the game thinks I do need it. Any suggestions? Thanks very much!

Thread moved from RTW GD forums to Tech help.

RTW never complained about dx 9.0c on the 5 different pc's where i installed it since it's release until today.

Might be something else wrong with the registry/driver/direct x/game installation - can't tell for sure but others may
follow knowing more about such an issue.

Could you start a campaign before installing the mod?
