I just received the following error after installing this game on Windows and trying to run it....

############################################################################################

FATAL ERROR in Vertex Shader compilation

D3DXCompile failed - result

at gml_Object_the_controller_Draw_77

Is there any work around this?

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

It seems DirectX hasn't been configured properly. Try downloading and installing dxwebsetup.exe from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35

Hopefully that helps.

Thanks for the quick reply!

That did the trick!

I just bought a new gaming laptop with Windows 11 pre-installed so I guess many games which relied on older versions of DirectX woudln't have worked without that download. I haven't gamed on a PC in many years after using just consoles for so long. I forgot how much a pain getting things to work right "out of the box" could be when it comes to DirectX and such.

I recommend downloading steam then, it still handles automatic setup of runtime and does it pretty quickly with minimal issues. checking PCGamingWiki can always help to minimize the setup time, they tend to compile all fixes needed to get a game running at peak perfomance
