Furthermore, it kind of baffles me why a "developer" would miss something so simple and is using a server (on which you supposedly run your core business) as a gaming device and do not have it running as a VM, increasing safety and scalability.
The problem is not with directx. I've already tried updating directx which doesn't do anything because it IS the latest version. As several of us have verified by now, the game was working just fine prior to the launcher update. The newest launcher is simply unable to detect that directx is installed and does not go any further.
