It doesn't seem to work for me,and i have dirx9.0c installed november 2007 version,and the game's dirx as well.I still get the Error loading shader libraries.

Anything else I could try to fix it?

Edit > This is for patch 1.71 only.It seems that the game works allrighty unpatched.

Where do i have to install the direct????

 

[ori]

just use the link I gave above it installs automatically to the right files (somewhere in the windows system so you cannot chose where anyway - microsoft did that for you )

 

[Sakkroo]

well in that case it doesnt fix the problem..... can you find exactly where do i have to install it, or why doesnt work becaus i already install it in the pc

thanks

click start -> run and type dxdiag it will give you a lot of information including the directx version and the directx file names - the newest of those files should be of 10/21/07 if that is the case you got the newest directx release.

 

[Sakkroo]

Its working now.... thanks for the help.....

I'm afraid this isn't solving the problem for me...:/
If it helps suggest a fix, I'm trying to run patch 1.74 on Windows 7
