This pack of drivers is designed specially for Windows 7 and Windows 8. Updated regularly, the current version of DirectX is 11.2, though 11.3 is anticipated soon and is predicted to be the final stepping stone towards DirectX 12. Many recent games only work with DirectX 11 installed. So, if you are hoping to play, or, it is essential. Other games, like, improve significantly with these drivers. Instructions: enjoy Using DirectX 11 is as easy as installing it. You can download this driver library for free.

But if you forget don’t worry, as all products that require DX11 (especially games) always come packaged with the version they need. Once you finish the basic installation of a product, it will typically then ask if you want to install DirectX 11 if you are missing it. Once it is installed, you should not have to worry about it again – leaving you to enjoy the graphic and sound improvements it offers. Even better, it is very rare to encounter any problems with compatibility or performance related to these drivers. What are you waiting?

I have a new build windows 7 64-bit desktop with an XFX HD 6870 graphics card, 8 Gb RAM and a 1TB hard drive. I use Steam and have downloaded a number of games before from them and run them with success on a windows 7 32-bit enabled laptop. However, when we try them on the new machine we get a 'Preparing to launch.' Then a Syncing message from Steam and then nothing. We have contacted Steam and been through their FAQ's and support notes and have come to the conclusion that it appears to be an issue with directx?

The games in question are 'XCOM', ' Farming Simulator 2013' and 'Gary's Mod'. The closest I have got is with FireFall (not via Steam) which gives a 'Bad Image' error with it stating that 'C: Windows system32 dx3dx943.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support'. Nothing in the DXError.log or the DirectX.log for this quoted error or anything else though. I have backed up this dll and put it back on the machine but still no further.

DirectX 9.0c will help improve multimedia experiences on most PCs. This latest version of DirectX offers better security, updated graphics, faster frame rates, and support for massively multiplayer games. It also features more immersive audio when running and displaying programs rich in multimedia elements such as full-color graphics, video, 3-D animation and surround sound. If you had an earlier version of DirectX installed on your system, you will see little difference in available space on your hard drive following the installation. DirectX 9.0c will overwrite any earlier versions. This release also resolves a number of minor bugs and includes security updates. Microsoft has refreshed its lineup of DirectX offerings at the start of this week, and the company is by no means shy of focusing the spotlight on the evolution of the graphics technology as Windows 7 is contouring.

The software giant is offering fresh Technical Previews of Direct2D, DirectWrite, and DXGI 1.1, but also a new TP release of Windows 7/Direct3D 11. The components are available for download as an integral part of the March 2009 iteration of the DirectX Software Development Kit, which is accompanied by the DirectX End-User Runtimes (March 2009) and the DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer. Microsoft delivered the first taste of Windows 7 DirectX 11 through the SDK back in. Obviously the releases are aimed at a professional audience. Developers will be able to leverage the latest release of the SDK, combining the DirectX Runtime and additional software designed to permit the building of DirectX compliant solutions. With the March 2009 DirectX update, Microsoft has refreshed the tools and utilities included with the software development kit, but also the code samples, documentation, and the 32-bit and 64-bit runtime debug files. “This version of the Windows 7/Direct3D 11 Technical Preview ships as part of the DirectX SDK and contains the following new features, tools, and documentation: Technical Preview of Direct2D; Technical Preview of DirectWrite; Technical Preview of DXGI 1.1,” the Redmond company informed.

According to Microsoft: “Direct2D is a hardware-accelerated, immediate-mode, 2-D graphics API that provides high performance and high quality rendering for 2-D geometry, bitmaps, and text. The Direct2D API is designed to interoperate well with Direct3D and GDI. (.) DirectWrite provides support for high-quality text rendering, resolution-independent outline fonts, and full Unicode text and layout support, and much, much more. (.) DXGI 1.1 builds on DXGI 1.0 and will be available on both Windows Vista and Windows 7.” On top of the March 2009 release of the DirectX Software Development Kit, the Redmond company is also offering for download the DirectX End-User Runtimes (March 2009) and the DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer. Documentation for the latter has not yet been updated on the Microsoft Download Center.

DirectX End-User Runtimes (March 2009) is available in Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Czech, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Swedish, and English. “DirectX end-user multi-languaged redistributable that developers can include with their product. The redistributable license agreement covers the terms under which developers may use the Redistributable,” the company informed. The March 2009 DirectX Software Development Kit (containing the Windows 7/Direct3D 11 Technical Preview) is available for download. DirectX End-User Runtimes (March 2009) is available for download.

DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer is available for download. When you have an error that points to a specific file such as d3dx943 and the file is corrupt then deleting the file and running the DX Web Installer should replace it with a good copy, and as you had no issue running the redist (2010) which would overwrite any corrupt DX files I would think your issue may lie somewhere other than DX. Without knowing just what you have tried - -Not having all the 'important' Windows updates can also cause DX errors. There are several gaming related updates in the mix as well. A corrupt install of a game can also lead to an DX error for a specific d3dx file.

Some games have the DX file in the main install directory, and occasionally popping one in the main directory (when you know which specific file the game uses) helps even with games that don't install one there. Why I don't know, but apparently it works for some. One of the fixes for Fallout 3 is the d3d9.dll, but I never needed it myself. AV's have been doing lots of strange things (silently) in the past few years.

You could try disabling your AV before launching the problematic games. Then there's good old Clean Boot. You may find a conflict with another software troubleshooting from Clean Boot.

I don't know how MB's propaganda relates to your problem. The only 'earlier' versions of DX9 are the files with lower numbers.

Aside from that DX7 and DX8 would obviously be earlier versions of DX. There is no need for any DX9 'patch' if you use the Web Installer or the redist(2010) as they will install all DX files. There is absolutely no need for a non developer gamer to use the SDK. The following is a list of the Direct X.dll's you will have when the files are up to date. Go to the Windows / System 32 folder, (and SysWOW64 if you have 64bit).

They are in alphabetical order and will start with d3dx9 - 24 43. Then d3dx10 - 33 43 & finally d3dx11 - 42 43. There should also be - d3d9, d3d10 and d3d11 these come before the D3Dcompilers - 3343.There are also three new XInput1 - 13. There are more DX files, but these are most of the graphics related Direct X.dll's. 'I can only assume that the initial build of Windows 7 Home 64-bit was flawed or that the subsequent running of Web Installer did not adequately register the files.'

It may be there was more than the one corrupt DX file, but it is highly unlikely that all the DX files were corrupted when installing Windows. Running the full download redist installer should have overwritten all the DX files. That's what makes it different to the Web Installer. The Redist installer first unpacks the files to a location of your choice. You then still have to run the DXSETUP.exe to actually install the files into System32 and SysWOW64. I can't imagine you would have to do it the way you did, but with Windows and PC's it seems there are many unusual situations.

Sometimes you just gotta do what. I think it would have been faster in the long run to just do a 'repair' reinstall of Windows vs a manual removal and replacement of all the DX files.
