Update of DirectX Failed! can't play the game at all :/

[spookyboi]

after trying to start the game from steam, the launcher tries to update direct X, then says it fails and I can't play the game, or even start it up. I've tried setting the launcher and exe in compatibility mode, i've tried to make sure my directX was up to date, verify via launcher, verify via steam, redownloaded it, nothing seems to work. I know other people have this issue, but no one has posted a solution :(

Launch Warframe and folder with game /SteamApps/common/Warframe/Drivers/DirectX9, so then before Windows Ask you about Install DirectX by launching Warframe, Delete all files in Drivers/DirectX without DSetup, dsetup32 and DXSETUP. Then Install the DirectX what launched before automatically by launching Warframe. Remeber - When you launching Warframe, DONT click at the directx installer, if you don't removed those files.

Cheers to this guy, he fixed my game. Thanks bro! But, his English is a tad difficult to understand, so I'll clarify.

First, go to your SteamApps/common/Warframe/Drivers/DirectX9 folder. Once there, delete every file EXCEPT DSetup, dsetup32, and DXSETUP. (DO NOT run any of those files) Once finished with that, simply run the game and it should be fixed!

Did not work for me :(

Also did not work for me. I've seen more than one attempted fix and some work for some people but don't for others. Because of that, I suspect there are multiple bugs causeing this issue because of DE fiddling with how the launcher handles DX because of what they did to disable it on AMD cards until AMD can fix the DX10/11 problems with their drivers.

Works, but only in windowed mode

Um. Have you tried turning your computer off..... and then on again? This is often the panacea for all illnesses.

Done this multiple times. It does nothing since it's something to do with the Launcher itself. Link to the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ forums for those few of us that have this issue.

Welcome to "dll-hell".

What actually happens is that some of the builds of warframe came bundled with directx library overrides (and this is recommended practice by Microsoft, and usually required to avoid edge build problems. Or, you have a static library to work against, removing any problems that would come with updates from Microsoft. These are the directx files placed in the warframe folder). And at some point, the warframe build changes enough so that the overrides need to be replaced. If that doesn't happen correctly, for any amount of reasons that are fairly common, you end up mixing directx sdk version builds.

To compound this problem, it's possible to place overrides in the registry as well, to specific files, so they take precedence over program-specific overrides. And that's not easy to get around later, even if overriding for the latest version worked at the time you set them. Since Microsoft sometimes update directx and set exceptions for particular libraries in the sdk.

Here are some clear instructions:

1) Open a new text document.

2) Paste the following lines into the word document. Including Windows Registry Editor line.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Digital Extremes\Warframe\SteamLauncher]
"APR2007_xinput_x64.cab"="743B333C2DB3D4CF190FB39C29F3C346"
"APR2007_xinput_x86.cab"="C234DF417C9B12E2D31C7FD1E17E4786"
"DSETUP.dll"="9E0711BED229B60A853BCC5D10DEAAFC"
"DXSETUP.exe"="DDCE338BB173B32024679D61FB4F2BA6"
"Jun2010_XAudio_x64.cab"="EDEB828A8E54A9F3851007D80BC8DD6E"
"Jun2010_XAudio_x86.cab"="9D2DA3B1055120AF7C2995896F5D51ED"
"dsetup32.dll"="0F58CCD58A29827B5D406874360E4C08"
"dxupdate.cab"="8ADF5A3C4BD187052BFA92B34220F4E7"

3) Click "File" in the word document and select "Save As..."

4) Type "fix.reg" into the name box without quotes. Be sure not to type "fix.reg.txt".

5) Find the saved file and double click the file. The window will ask you to verify that you want to modify the registry, select yes.

6) Start warframe. if it asks you to launch directx updater, select yes or no, its your choice.

7) Enjoy your game. if it doesn't work, contact me on steam.

To anyone else who got this error: it took me literally hours of googling, but I found a reply on some random linux site from a guy named Daniel G, who suggested editting the following entries in the registry:

You can get past this with the following Registry entries.

On successful installation, the launcher will make an entry in the registry for both the file and it's corresponding hash.
