Updated launcher is not recognizing directx on Windows Server 2008 R2

I've tried re-installing the whole thing, no dice.

FOUND A FIX

Seeing as it worked for my mate i wondered whether I had missed something during the conversion to desktop. went to the usual site and they've released and automated converter

Ran this, ticked practically everything except obvious stuff that'd have no effect, now loading (no restart required I found)

Would you be willing to mention what specifically you selected? I'm not particularly computer savvy, so I'm a bit worried about just clicking things on the converter. I'm not entirely sure what is or is not going to have an effect.

Thank you very much for the fix! The game finally booted up, and now I get to wait through the long process of installing the game from scratch.

Thanks for finding this. I was able to find that the only thing that needed to be added was the "Add Xinput1_4.dll, XInput9_1_0.dll and XAudio2_8.dll" if you are running Server 2012 R2. I read up on a way to manually install those files, but would need to pull the files from a windows 7 computer. Probably something similar for the 2008 installation.

+1 here to. Windows Server 2012 R2. The above utility fixed it, not sure what did it.

[Taoquitok]

Thanks Kronoman for testing to confirm. Hopefully we've found the culprit there

It's alive! Thanks for the fix, here what fixed it for me:


I'm suspecting that all you have to do is the XNA common controller bit.
