Steam should have installed DirectX when you launched the game. Try installing it manually from your Steam folder: Steam\steamapps\common\Steamworks Shared\_CommonRedist\DirectX

Search in one of the folders there for DXSETUP.exe and run it

Hi
I'm having the same problem, I've installed DirectX from the steam folder but am still getting the Runtime Error, any help would be much appriciated

Sorry to hear you're experiencing an issue. Please could you try to "verify game integrity" from the properties menu. If this doesn't work, you could try uninstalling and reinstalling.

Try downloading and installing DirectX from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35

[pirlossi]

after downloading this and while installing
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35

it says the version of my directx is already latest, i am using windows 10

What is the exact error, word for word, that you're receiving?

The following component(s) are required to run this program:

remove the xinput1_1, xinput1_2, xinput1_3 in Windows/System32 and SysWOW64
then download dxwebsetup and reinstall

It was a good clue, because the downloaded DirectX setup actually wouldn't run either, pointing to a problem with the out-of-the-box Win10 setup on this brand new HP PC! I found a hint that this can be resolved by reinstalling .NET, which I did, after which the DirectX setup completed.

And hey presto, it works! So for anyone else with this error - go to Start, Settings, Apps, then on the right hand side Programs and Features, Turn Windows Features On or Off... and uncheck any .NET components (make a note of which are installed). Reboot, then go back and switch those back on again. Then download the DirectX setup, run it, and it'll work. Not a bug in the game, but something screwy with the Windows install, by the looks of it.

Thanks Rak, if there was a way to upvote you or your post I would :)
