Runes of Magic US / AU

I got it to work. I rebooted my pc and had NOTHING else open or running and it updated. I am now back in game

Every windows 7 PC have a built in DX11. But the game uses DX9 APIs to work, so you need the DX9SDK in your system folder to work properly. Just pick the web installer for DX9 posted above for your country (mine is Brazil), english users might pick the first link of webinstaller. This will will update the dx9 you use on your computer. It's pretty simple.

Ok for those having problems use the windows update tool in your systems start menu to manualy update Directx. Sometimes when using the web installer or even doing a manual instal of Direct X it will fail. This is normal Microsoft failure and not due to something the enduser has done. If you havent updated your OS in a while there may be a ton of fixes. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO UPDATE THEM ALL AT ONCE. You will have to take it by a maximum of 10 updates at a time or you will get some major failures. Again that is due to microsoft and not the enduser. To find the windows updater jsut click start and find the windows update icon in the first list. It might take a few moments to get all teh information it needs but let it run.

Something else that yall may want to do is to run the DxDiag program itself to be sure everything is ok there.

Got it worked. Thank you all very much for the help.

Something else I would like to add to this. Most of the video card vendors have customized Directx installs within their drivers. There is a possibility that those of yall having problems may have a certian driver version that did not include what you are missing. Most of the newest drivers offer the complete and newest version of Directx.
But it would be nice if Frogster would link to the correct spot to get Directx for those having problems.

This is the link for the webinstaller;

Way to go RoM!!! I have not had a problem whereas I actually couldn't start up RunesOfMagic on my computer until I went to log on today.... d3dx9_42.dll is not found on my computer and it doesn't matter how many times i have downloaded the client again.... This is really messed up... does anyone actually realize just how long it takes to download this game?...only to find that it's unplayable due to some absent-minded technician or who ever did the patch process?... People pay money to play this game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you tried at least to read this topic? The issue was long resolved....

I am also getting ERROR assembling VS,running RoM under Ubuntu via wine, after installing the patch at 7:30a edt; patch seems have issues; getting the following errors in wine:

fixme:d3dcompiler3DCompile data 0x93db30, data_size 4690, filename "memory", defines (nil), include 0x33ebb0, entrypoint "main", target "ps_2_0", sflags 0, eflags 0, shader 0x33edc0, error_messages 0x33edc4 stub!

Here are installed dlls (using winetricks). Some of them I installed in desperation. Just installing d3dx9_42 did not do the trick.

Overrides in user.reg

There are "native" setting for almost all dx dlls, inserted by winetricks. Those 2 are the only ones i changed:

"*d3d9"="builtin,native"

I hope this helps.

Win XP tried to log in this morning, got message about updates, updates finished, got Direct X .dll error.

Scheduled disk scan and restarted comouter. No joy, no ROM. Searched computer for missing .dll from message. Not there.

Followed advice in error message (rather than going immediately to patch thread like I should have) and ran ROM installer. Installer failed because of locked sound files (it said). However, when I restart ROM, it loaded the first screen, did a patch check and brought me to the login screen.

Which now fails. Tried everyway from Sunday, including a replacement password Frogster support sent me last week. However, I was able to get to the patch notes now, and log in here (guess I remembered my password).

Ran DirectX update linked in forum. Update completed successfully. Still cannot log in. Restarted computer, tried again.

No joy. Unistalled ROM and did clean install. Patch update is currently running, and I am hoping for the best.

Not the pleasant day of smooshing monsters and advancing my character that I anticipated. This has also set back my plans to do diamond purchases, since I'm not dropping coin on a game that doesn't work.

Please test releases a little better in the future. I do computer support for a living, and don't really appreciate it when it intrudes on my recreation.

I can not get in the game after the update. I reinstalled Directx 9 twice I even reinstalled rom. Reinstalling Directx 9 fixed the VS error but now rom freezes permanently after clicking login.

i am having the same wine problem, what should i do?

I'm getting the same error message. I'd rather not reinstall the game. Has anyone come up with a solution?

~tried once more to download Direct X and this time it worked~

On page 5 of this thread i posted what i did to fix it.

Hey there.

Missing dll, like everyone else. Downloaded the DirectX update, didn't work. Tried the webinstaller, didn't work. Looked for updates on Window Update, none were there. Rebooted, didn't do anything. Looked at what version of DirectX I have, version 11.

When I attempt to install the DirectX update, I get the error [COLOR=black !important]"An internal system error has occurred. Please refer to DXError.log and DirectX.log in your windows folder to determine the problem."[/COLOR] Those logs don't exist on my computer. I'm running Vista.

So what I'm getting from reading all this is that RoM needs DX version 9 to work? Pretty sure I had DX version 11 yesterday when RoM worked before.

...kinda wish I could check my auctions.

Any ideas? I've only seen one other person on here with this issue. I've tried running things as administrator, tried running things in compatibility mode. The only other option I can think of is to download the actual dll and put it... somewhere. Although I've heard this is a Bad Idea. Sooo... anyone got anything else for me?

Edit: Also reinstalled RoM, which didn't help. Which was fun, let me tell you.
Edit part deux: Ok, the regular DX update did work. Not the web installer. Downloaded alllllll those files and found dxsetup.exe. Worked. Whew. ...now what to do with all those extra files?

Downloading latest directx worked for me. Funny how I was fine running RoM for a looong time until this latest patch...

Quoted from "Murkalael;530554"

In the thread above users already found the solution, is on directX. Just visit topic and get links for the latest webinstaller from MS and start playing.

Those Bill Gaters got me with their Bing tricks! LOL!

/uninstalling bing bar...

So maybe ill put a diffrent twist on this. I get no error messages i make it all the way to log in screen and it tells me i have a diffrent version than the server. Im kind of lost. I downloaded directx, added all the missing DIIs and what not. But nothing. Maybe im saving the directx program in the wrong spot or something. im about to give it up.
