Thank you for the response. So having Windows 7 with DirectX 11 installed will not suffice. One would need to ALSO install DirectX 9.0c?
That is correct, yes. You can get it from here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=34429.
Sinisna's right. The game is coded to use Direct x9.0c. Make sure you download this to run the game successfully. .NET Framework 4 (Web Installer): www.microsoft.com/en-us/download C++ Redist: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555 (32-bit) DirectX9.0c (Web Installer): www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35 ^ This is good to have to run the game.
