And Microsoft doesn’t allow you to download the installer package from its site anymore–Microsoft delivers DirectX to Windows 10 computers via Windows Update, so I can’t even reinstall it like people tell me I should. The kicker is, my version of DirectX is up to date, based on the version number when I run DxDiag.
I never reach the client updater, let alone the game itself. It’s a loop of failures that happens a couple times until the client itself crashes and gives me a report window. It kicks me back to the game’s installer, which then again tells me I can’t install the game because my DirectX version is out of date, and I should click OK to–well, I already told you that part. So I do, and the DirectX installer tries to update, but can’t find a file to download. The error tells me my DirectX version is out of date and that I should click OK to update. I have downloaded the installer program from your site, but when it comes to actually install the game, I run into a problem. It’s a clean installation, not a clone or an upgrade, and the installation (and SSD) are about two months old. The computer itself isn’t new but the Windows 10 install is because I just upgraded it to an SSD from an HDD. Hi, so, I’m something of a veteran player but I want to install the game on a new computer.
