Does it ask on any other games?... If it does... you may need to re-install Steam, if its only on Drakensang... try downloading DirectX websetup...

Try changing STEAM from online / Offone mode. also, you may need the older DirectX legacy drivers...

Do a web search for "Download DirectX" > Download the WebSetup file.. and run it... this may help..

Hope that helps...

Another Steam script installation bug.

You have to find the correct registry key value to add for this game... f.e.:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Valve\Steam\Apps\80640
NAME=directx
REG_DWORD=1

I don't have this game on Steam so I don't have its "installscript.vdf".
Look there what's the value name, checked at every launch. Should be something like "directx":

"InstallScript"
{
"Run Process"
{
"DirectX"
{
"HasRunKey" "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Valve\\Steam\\Apps\\80640"
"process 1" "%INSTALLDIR%\\support\\directx_Jun2010_redist\\DXSETUP.exe"
"command 1" "/silent"
"NoCleanUp" "1"
}

This is a frequent Steam installation script bug happening for many incorrectly installed games.
