Whenever I try to run the game at DirectX 9.0c, it throws a DirectX 1000003d fatal error and crashes the launcher out. I can run the game in DirectX 11, but I'm playing on a fairly poor laptop and my performance suffers badly in DirectX 11.

I'm fairly sure I have DirectX 9.0c installed, but have no idea how to deal with this error. I'm on a laptop using an onboard Intel GPU.
