    When i try to start the game an error dialogue appears that complains about a missing file d3dx9_40.dll. It suggests to reinstall the game, which i did several times but the error shows up again every time. Please help.

    Thank you very much, installation of this web installer helped, i needed to use the windows feature helper to fix directx afterwards. The game is running now, i am happy :) Thanks again.

    Agree. Perhaps your PC is set to direct 10 or 11, and you are given a window that a newer time is installed. The game, in this case, can only work at 9 (I had this problem with Skyrim for example). You'll have to delete 10 \ 11 to install 9, then reinstall 10/11.
