Problem with KR and Vista Ultimate 64-bit

vonretee · 8th July 2007, 12:21 PM

I installed kr on my vista, tried to start it, gave me error:
Unable to locate d3d9_30.dll

I have up-to-date dx9.0c installed, i have the needed files in my system32 folder.
I'm running the game as administrator and tried it in XP compability. No luck.

I really don't want to use vpc cos it's so heavy, so suggetions will be more than welcome! Thx!

It has nothing to do with Vista Ultimate, I was running Kingdom Reborn on Vista Ultimate a few days ago until yesterday I went back to xp (cheer!). All i experienced was a little lag.

Btw people, I'm not trying to put you off buying Vista as I liked it alot but it does take up alot of resources. It made all my game's laggy but the luuuuush graphics are indeed lush, But if you have XP you can download a Vista Theme. Also Vista is quite good at installing drivers for you where as with XP it's more manual installs.

Vista comes Pre-installed with DX10, and because of that is missing some of the DX9 Files which most games (nearly all) require at the moment. Some games can run without DX9 Files some cant. Try installing Directx9 Do not worry it will add files but it will not overwrite your Dx10.
