bought it in bundle and it doesn't work

Developer

What do you mean by “doesn’t work”? Does it run but crash? Does it throw any sort of error? Does it just not run at all?

it says code execution cannot proceed XINIPUT1_3.dll was not found.

Developer

XInput? Hmm… Sounds to me like you might not have DirectX installed. For the sake of making the game function better and not suffer from slowdowns, we used an alternate executable that runs the game allowing for hardware acceleration through DirectX 9.

Try that, it should solve that problem.

i have directx12

I went and downloaded direct x9 and I cant get it to work so I'm stumped

Developer

Oh. I see. Looking around, it seems the problem is common, and apparently the way to fix it is getting the DirectX End-User Runtimes (June2010) package (link to Microsoft’s download page) which actually installs additional DirectX stuff that’s not in the main packages. I may have not found that problem due to something along the way requiring that and having it installed beforehand.

It should fix the problem. If it does, I’ll make a note on the game page.

i still cant get it to work. i downloaded and extracted the files and this is the second time I've downloaded that update. I may just be ignorant about how to get things to work.

Developer

Well, I’m at a loss. Sorry, I can’t think of anything else that could be the main reason for the problem or any other potential fix.

Developer

Due to not being able to reproduce the problem, and not being able to give a proper solution, I’ll just go all the way and make a version of the game without the performance-enhancing alternate executable. Performance will suffer, to an extent, but it’ll function. I’ll say something when I upload it.

Developer

Version that doesn’t use DirectX has been uploaded for both the demo and the full game. It should not give any problems.

thank you and I'm sorry if my computer ignorance gave you a lot of work.

do your other games require that directx?

Developer

Off the top of my head, yes, all of them do make use of DirectX in one way or another. I suspect the problems here arise not from the usage of DirectX, since it’s pretty much standard in Windows, but from the specific implementation of it used in this particular engine. Then again, having no way of replicating the problem means this is just pure speculation on my part.
