This application has failed to start because d3dx9_25.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem. I am also getting this error when I try to run the game after installing the ver 200.30 patch. I have directx 9.0c, whatelse could be wrong? I read the VCF but just bought the game today, New unplayed install. Patch version 200.00 works, the game starts no problem, only when I install ver 200.30 do I get this error.
