Patch not working properly

I installed the new patch on both my computer and husbands computer and Neither are working. I can't remember his error message but it was about something is missing and he should reinstall program ? idk but it wont go past the Start game Screen. My computer, I click start game and i get a tiny window that says Error assembling VS. and then i get the You have crashed window and send the info blah blah.. I hope this helps to get the patch up properly. hugs!

Same problem here too. I have been playing this game for over a year and have had no problems getting to the login screen. Now, after getting the latest patch and trying to get to the login screen, I get an error that states:
"This application has failed to start because d3dx9_42.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."

The game doesn't start....

Restarting PC doesn't help nor did I install anything else since yesterday when it worked fine.

Nice patch. :mad:

Seems to be not an isolated issue. I too have issues on both my PC and the wife's.
I am currently taking the time to reinstall on both afresh.

I started the patch and walked away to make breakfast. When I returned the game was patched and ready to go. When I tried to log in I got a error saying my version is not the same as the server please patch.....well it wont let me patch again nor do I have the option.

on the bottom of the launcher I'm running 4.0.11.2525.en

ayup. had the same error message. attempting to re-install directx now.

a note to froggie & runewaker... Please let us know beforehand if we need to update core parts of the os before the game will run.

Yeah, the patch is using an up to date directX.

Do yourselves a favour & do as was said above. Update directX directly from microsoft.

DO NOT download d3dx9_42.dll from some random dll download site, way to risky.

Anybody find it ironic that the driver that is giving an error message is d3dx9_42.dll :)

I reinstalled Directx and it seems to work now but I had to choose the webinstall further down the page since the full download wouldn't install on Vista

The webinstall is the way to go. It is fastest as it looks to see what is installed & only installs the updates.

Thanks everyone. The DirectX update worked, and the suggestion from GarryL to use Microsoft's webinstall made it fast and easy.

DirectX End-User Runtime Full: 96MB

DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer:

I used the full installer, but either should work.
