Hello Technical Help Forum,

My problem is not one of a CTD within EB, but rather a problem with starting EB itself.

When I run the application file, it says "Rome: Total War failed to find DirectX 9, which is required for the game to run. Please reinstall DirectX."

The thing is, I have DirectX9 installed, maybe it cannot find the folder?

I am using EB with BI.exe (1.6) if it makes a difference, although I tried this with both vanilla RTW and vanilla BI (several times) so I don't think that's the case.


Any help is appreciated.
