It's common problem with MWO. No idea why it happens, but if you uninstall C++ and then download a new version it works just fine.

By new version you mean what a new patch or the whole game again?

Neither. Uninstall C++, and then download the latest version of C++

[stormsmessenger]

I did the same thing over and over i try whit c++x64 and c++86 downloaded them installed and it the same messege over and over.

It is not a C++ error it is a direct X error.

I know it's a DirectX error. All I'm saying is what worked for me, twice on two different computers, buoth brand new.

If this works i am taking you to the Strip Club

[Rogue Jedi]

if the C++ did not work try downloading and installing Directx 9, it will probably tell you you have a newer version installed but proceed with the install anyway

O.o;; Glad I be using a steam version. The regular patcher thing sucks.

That said: "X86" is for 32 bit windows computers. "X64" is for 64 bit windows computers. If you're using a 32 bit windows... it's probably time to get out of the stone ages.

Steam version is the way to go

Steam has always had a nice installer/patcher. After MWO released on Steam, I tried installing through there instead of the normal client, but since I am running the game on a laptop with integrated graphics (decent machine otherwise, really glad teh PGI has tried har dto keep support for low end /integrated cards in MWO) I went back to using the stand alone client. The extra overhead of the steam services having to be running anytime I played cost me a little bit of FPS in the game that I already struggle with.

That said, I have never had an issue out of the stand alone client.

sorry Koniving you have that the wrong way around

x86 is usualy used to refer to 32bit chips based on the x86 architecture _{developed in the 1970s for Intels 8086 processors (hence why the CPUs of the 80s and early 90s were called 286 ^(80286) 386 ^(80386) and 486 ^(80486) before they started labeling them Penitum,} while 64 bit chips based on x86 are often labeled as x64

my biggest question with that system is what they would have called the 8 and 16 bit x86 chips when they were retired

I am not fond of the idiot who decided to label X86-32 as X86 and X86-64 as X64, and would probably exchange strong words ^{(if not blows)} with that person if I ever discover who it was and find myself in close proximity

This explains why "Program Files (X86)" has a lot more programs than "Program Files." And I do remember the 286 days. I couldn't believe how fast they loaded things....even still compared to now. Mind you they had to load much smaller things. 386 and 486 seemed slower than dirt, but by then computers had gone passed programs smaller than 5 megabytes.

there is a simple explanation for that speed reduction, Windows, on the 286 you would probably have been running DOS or some other command line interface, but as I recall (and I was rather young at the time so could be mistaken) most 386 machines came with Windows 3, if you exited out of Windows and went back to the DOS command line ^{(or set it up not to load Windows in the first place)} they were much faster.

Like DosShell before windows 3 came out.

not really, Disk Operating System was Microsoft first OS, Windows started as just Graphical User Interface to use DOS without understanding the the DOS command line, but it used many times the system Resources of DOS alone.
you used to have to quit out of Windows into DOS to run most games and many older programs, even today it is often easier to fix problems from the Command Line than using the Windows GUI

DOS box is just an emulator allowing modern PCs to use 8bit or 16bit DOS based programs on a modern PC, it is more the equivalent of what Windows used to be than what DOS used to be

To the LadyDramas, does MWO even work on a laptop with intergrated graphic?
