Hi all,
I just picked up this game after hearing all the great things about it. The problem is that I installed it on my Win XP 64 system and I get this error on launch:

This application has failed to start because d3dx9_27.dll was not found

Now, I have DX 9.0c installed, but THAT DLL isn't there. So, I'm wondering if the DLL it's asking for is a 32-bit version, looking at the existence of the FILE rather than querying DX for the API calls it needs.

I'm running Dual SLI nVidia geForce 7800's

Any ideas on how to get this to run?

Figured it out. The thing is, if you have DX 9.0c, there's actually a 9.0c update from MS's web site.

Install that and all should be fine.
