Failed to Load d3dx9_43.dll

[ElG7dod]

The program requires me to install DirectX Even Though I've Installed DirectX from Microsoft website and have the DLL on my System32, and yet I get the same error I've Tried With And Without Gentool, Even Played with the Compatibility Settings, and Clean Installed my Windows and Game Installations too! Help Would be Much Appreciated!

It usually happens when there are "invasive" programs, such as AVG Tune Up installed. They often change the working directory of the launched programs, so that they're unable to find the required DLLs.

Did you install the DirectX Runtime exactly from the link that this d3d8to9 message box is showing? Just to confirm, please try installing one from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35

first thing i did after reinstalling windows is downloading directx from this link, could the problem be from invasive programs if that's the case?

Which One of These Installed Programs would you think to be the culprit?

Try copying the following two files from your System32/SysWOW64 folder into the game folder where you put d3d8.dll:

D3DX9_43.dll D3DCompiler_47.dll

Try copying the following two files from your System32/SysWOW64 folder into the game folder where you put d3d8.dll:

D3DX9_43.dll D3DCompiler_47.dll

still the same problem

You may have a bad copy of the dlls. Also, you could also try these two files (note the different name):

D3DX9_43.dll D3DCompiler_43.dll

Alternatively, you could try my dxwrapper that removed the reliance on external dll.

Still the same problem, i'm trying out the dxwrapper

The dxwrapper works fine, but I am having trouble running it with Gentool. ☹

Update: I didn't use the d3d8.dll from stub folder and instead did the following in dxwrapper.ini

but the DirectX Error Still Bugs Me Out, It'd be Great to Know The Source of the Problem, In Case I Run Into A Problem Because of the DirectX in the near future, Any More Help or Advice Would be Much Appreciated

I don't know anything about Gentool. But you can exclude it from dxwrapper by using the ExcludeProcess option. Just add the name of the Gentool process there.

[HerMajestyDrMona]

I don't know how Gentol works, but if it's installed to a different folder than the game folder, and if you choose the game .exe later, then the working directory where the game starts might be set to the one where Gentol is, instead of where the game is, and that's why it doesn't see copied DLLs (?).

[ElG7dod]

I solved the Gentool problem, but I still need to find a solution for the previous DirectX error.

[elishacloud]

Not sure about the DirectX error. Something wrong on your computer. The only thing I can say is that you may need to install the DirectX9 SDK.
