Topic: DirectX version above 9

I got a buddy trying to download the game, but he has DirectX Version 11. The downloader doesn't recognise it and keeps telling him to load version 9. How can he keep the new version and still download the game?

He has to install this, like the client download page suggests. DirectX 11 supplied with windows doesn't contain all the components required for running DX9 applications.

Re: DirectX version above 9

I experienced the same issue on my windows 7 x64 machine.  Tried aug2009 dx9 redist full downlooad and the websetup linked on the client download page.  Web setup redist claims I am current.

Installer fails on the "you need dx9" message.  I installed successfully on my win7 x32 machine then copied the /perpetuum directory over to my x64 machine and it runs fine.

I would look into this as a bug on the installer against win7 x64.
