direct x 9 needs to be installed

[ClapperOfCh33ks]

when i launch a game it says I need that installed, but when I launch dxDiag it says I have direct x 12 ive tried to re-download dirext x but it says I already have a newer or same version. the wierd thing is that I can play far cry 5 but I cannot play scrap mechanic, rocket league nor can I play rct 3. please I need help. and my drivers are all up to date.

Just download DirectX 9 from the Microsoft page and install it. Just because you have DirectX 12 does not mean you have all the features of older DirectX version.
DirectX 9 has some libraries that older game may need that are not in newer ones.

"unable to intialize directX make sure your drivers are up to date".

Other games work fine with the same card ? Because that sounds more like a error with the GPU. If you turn it off the system switches to the CPU inbuild graphic solution. Which of course has way less performance and thus the laggy gameplay.

Have you tried running the game with opengl and see if that helps?

There are two ways you could do this:

First disable your card, launch the game Settings>Video and switch it from directx to opengl, close the game enable your card and lauch the game and see if that helps,

Second options is to go into the game's ini file, find the file responsable for storing graphic settings and modify it (i don't have the game so I can't help you here, but it should be fairly easy to do).
