Nakroma 10 Posted April 16, 2014 Hello, I just installed an Arma 3 Server on my Windows Server 2008 R2 via steamcmd (https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Dedicated_Server#Instructions_.28Windows_o.2Fs.29) Everything was okey etc. until I try to start the arma3server.exe via shortcut, then this pops up: The programm can't start because XAPOFX1_5.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the programm to fix this problem. Now I'm aware (all mighty google) that this is a DirectX problem, but I have DirectX 11 installed (100% confirmed per dxdiag). Anyone know what to do :/? Lg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SavageCDN 231 Posted April 16, 2014 I would re-install directX with the web installer: http://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=35 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nakroma 10 Posted April 16, 2014 Oh man that actually worked. Thank you :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SavageCDN 231 Posted April 16, 2014 NP.. ran into this myself when A3 was released. The directX package that was already installed in Windows was missing some files and it seems the web installer does the trick!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
terox 316 Posted April 16, 2014 did you attempt to install the dedi server package or the full package, reason i ask is the dedi package shouldnt have given you this issue, it doesnt come with a directX folder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SavageCDN 231 Posted April 16, 2014 ^ good point didn't think of that... I assume he's using the client install and running it as a server as that is when I ran into this issue (before dedi files were released) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nakroma 10 Posted April 16, 2014 https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Dedicated_Server#Instructions_.28Windows_o.2Fs.29 I used this tutorial, so I probably downloaded the client install. How can I install the other package? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SavageCDN 231 Posted April 16, 2014 In Steam I believe it's called Arma 3 Dedicated Server you can download it under the Tools section (going from memory I could be wrong) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
terox 316 Posted April 16, 2014 The wiki tutorial is based on This tutorial (stickied in this forum)] I havent updated the wiki version, there's been some changes since that was done Check the section under SELECTING DEVELOPMENT OR STABLE BUILD just make sure you leave the steamAppid.txt as 107410 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bob_the_k 2 Posted April 10, 2015 OK, so I just installed on Windows Server 2012 R2 and get the msg in the title - (XAPOFX1_5 dll is missing) when I first run the shortcut. There is no DirectX manual update for Server 2012 and my server is 100% up to date. And I went to my Windows 8.1 desktop to find the directx folder and copy it over as suggested above. There is no \Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 3\DirectX folder. I'm at a total loss as to where to turn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SavageCDN 231 Posted April 15, 2015 Make sure you are installing the dedicated server package from Steam and not the client install. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EagleByte 40 Posted April 22, 2015 Find the installer on your own computer X:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 3\_CommonRedist\DirectX\Jun2010\DXSETUP.exe Take it to the server and install it. Should work perfectly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
