Default Graphics issues

I logged in to my account tonight to be greeted by this error message:

"D3DX9_31.DLL not found, Direct3D support is not available.

Please download latest installer from Regnum Online website."

I clicked "OK" on the error message and the game "auto-updated".

The attached screenshots (#1-#4) show what ensued.

After browsing some of the threads here, it seems like several people are having similar problems.

I looked in the options and I can only select OpenGL as the renderer. I changed the quality settings for Textures to "High" and view distance to "ultra high" and ran the game. Screenshot #5 shows what the game looked like after I made those changes.

-----------------

I've played ROL on my Dell Inspiron e1405 laptop with NO problems up until now. I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium and I've always played the game with the ROL executable to run in Windows XP SP2 compatibility mode.

ROL reports that I'm using the Intel 945GM chipset. (Sucky integrated, I know.)

I had a similar problem, just reinstall the game and when the installer asks to install directx, just click ok. It should work then

I think this issue needs an explanation.

The missing file (D3DX9_31.DLL) is installed by the DirectX installer included in the latest Regnum Installer. We used to include that file directly with the game, skipping DirectX installer, but that it's not allowed by DirectX license. We removed the file, but since the launcher does not delete files not available anymore in autopatch server, game kept working.

Since the latest update, Launcher checks if the correct DirectX is installed, by checking if D3DX9_31.DLL can be loaded, but the file is searched in the standard DLL search path.

Just as SimSinn and jpicon said, this issue is fixed by using the latest installer available at Regnum website.

Regards,

Hi - I fixed the problem that same day... after I reinstalled DirectX:

(FYI: I did not reinstall the game using a new installer.)
