Debuged the problem, it seems that the directx 10 that is installed is missing something in the compatiblity, so you need to run the updates.... so this is how:

Search Microsoft.com for "DirectX end-user runtime" and run it (it is also called 'DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer", it will install what ever is missing in the direct x 10 to 9 compatability that is missing.

Do a search for d3dx9_35.dll file on your PC. Do you have it now, after DirectX update?

ideas anyone?

[Nolan ra Sinjaria]

Any solutions yet?

i bought the game yesterday on impulsedriven.com and the game wont run (Vista 64 bit)

Already tried the DX10-Web-Updater but it told me i already got the latest version

[Andrew Syarkawi]

CPU: I7 3,4 ghz
RAM: DDR3 16 gb
VGA: Nvidia 680GT
OS: Win 7 32Bit, (my HDD with 7-64 Bit is full)
----------------------------
I think the problem is after the game got patched with v.1.12. after patch i play the game (new game-normal) and the game crash with runtime bla bla bla warning.

so i fresh-reinstall the game, but this time without patching (still 1.11), star new game and the game runs just fine.

i try this method 3 times and works, i am play the game right now (02-08-2013).

I dunno why, this game series very good, love it all, but kills me with all the bugs. feels like buying defect games. SW1 is great, SW 2 is VEry2 great but Very2 Bug, SW3....just this stupid patch and it ruined.

PS. The game version is located on left down side of the Main menu.
