DirectX9 won't load after new patch.

After the patch I can't start up directx 9 game anymore.

Processor: Amd Athlon (tm) 64 X2 Dual Core 5200 + 2.6 GHz
Graphics Card: Nvidia 9800 GT.
3 GB Ram.
Win 7 OS.

I can still start the game on directx 10, but I always used 9 because the graphics was ugly and messed up on 10 for some reason.
Speaking of which, the graphics on Directx 10 should be doable with my specs, is there any way to fix this?
If not, how do I fix the patch so I can start my directx 9 game up again?

Any help would be appreciated. Thx.

Are your drivers up to date?

What happens when you hit the DX9 button? Does just nothing happen, does it crash, or any other effects?

Okay, reinstalling the game apparently fixed the directx 9 from not starting. Thx for replying. Is there a way to turn off movement/battle animations & how can I fix my directx 10 so that it runs on nicer graphics.

Is there not an option to deactivate battle animations ?
Even if not: Start a MP game, then they should be deactivated, I think.

For DX10: Depends on what exact problems you have.
But it should in general be better for you to use DX9, because the game is not optimized for DX10 and will in that mode in general run not as good as in DX9 or 11.
