D3VD9_30.DLL

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I've just downloaded and installed the german version of ArmA and it won't run. Here is the error message i get after trying to start the game :

"Application won't start because of missing file D3VD9_30.DLL."

Here is exactly what i did :

1) downloaded game from http://boutique.gamesplanet.com

2) installed game

3) donwloaded and succesfully applied patch v1.02

4) started game

This is when i get this error message.

Now, i'm fairly new at this and i must probably have done some mistake somewhere (the first of all being that i deleted the install files, that i am currently downloading again to try reinstall).

Here are my system specs :

- Windows XP

- 2,16 GHz Intel CPu

- 2 Go RAM

- GeForce Go 7900 GTX / 512 MB

Anyone able to help me sort this one out ?

Thank you all very much !

Thanks for your quick answer...

Here's my status :

- i downloaded install files again and reinstalled and patched game

- still same error message

- downloaded DirectX install from the link you gave

But when i execute this file, i asks :

"Please type location where to extract files to"

What location should i specify ? icon_rolleyes.gif

As i says, i'm fairly new to all this, and i don't want to screw something on my computer with wrong directX update.

Can you help me out here as well ?

Thank you !

I forgot to mention : i did a DirectX check-up

(typing dxdiag in command prompt) and here is what i get !

- Version DirectX : DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)

From what i heard, this is what i should have to get the game running, right ?

Extract to "C:\DirectX9c

(You will have to type it in and click that it is OK/YES to create the folder.)

Then browse to the folder "C:\DirectX9c

Then execute the file: DXSETUP.exe

Guys, you've been great !

Downloading the missing DLL and putting it in WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory worked fine for me.

Now the game runs fine and it looks like i've got nights (if not weeks) of work ahead of me adjusting to this new game, the new commands and the german menus.

But i must say it looks fabulous !

Again, thank you all for your time and your answers.

Stating the name of the DLL correctly would have been rather useful to solving the problem.

The topic title reads "D3VD9_30.DLL" - And that's not a Microsoft file.

Yes he did typo the actual missing file but it was pretty obvious to anyone with a basic knowledge of windows that that's what the problem was wink_o.gif

Be sure to patch to v1.02.

It makes ArmA run smoooooooth as silk.

Also you can convert the Czech and German version fully to English.
