D3VD9_30.DLL

[rickydrier 0]

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 !

Try reinstalling DirectX

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 ?

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 ?

I can't find this file in the MSDN database. I doubt it is directx related.

Placebo is correct that it is a DirectX file you can use the following program to uninstall it.

DirectX 9 Uninstaller

Then reinstall for the link Placebo supplied

Guys dont reinstall direct X - i had the same prob and just downloaded the missing dll and put it in my system folder and it worked fine.

D3DX9_30.DLL FIX

Let me know if this works - it worked for me and a friend.

Good luck

But when i execute this file, i asks :

"Please type location where to extract files to"

What location should i specify ?

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.

It is an absolute pleasure and i am happy we could help.

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

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.

I installed DirectX9 components, didnt bother with uninstall from the link placebo provided, and it worked great, cept for the fact i had to to re-activate my license for some reason , all good, glad I figured out how it works now then later.

Maybe Placebo can make a stciky about this problem. Its really extremely simple to fix. Glad you sorted it out.
