Splinte Cell Conviction - d3dx10_41.dll

[Sway]

Hello,

Yesterday I have purchase the Splinter Cell Conviction Deluxe, I have tried to launch the game after installation but it would not launch. So I have set the "conviction_game.exe" to Administrator rights, and after attempting to launch it again the following error is received: "The program can't start because d3dx10_41.dll is missing from you computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." I am using Windows 8.1. I have downloaded this .dll file and inserted it in C:/Windows/system32, resintalled the Game, but the same error is received. Could you please help me out.

Best Regards,
Rareș

What are your computer specs? Also are your graphics drivers updated? It looks like a direct x issue.

downloaded the latest version of DirectX from Microsoft to get the missing D3dx10_41.dll file, and other possible missing files.

It looks like there is no standalone package for 8.1:

DirectX 11.2 is included in Windows 8.1, Windows RT and Windows Server 2012 R2.
Note There is no standalone update package for DirectX 11.2. You can only install this DirectX version through Windows Update in Windows 8.1, Windows RT and Windows Server 2012 R2.

Hello General Zod,

I have installed all the updates for my PC. and all the drivers are up to date. What should I do now?

[General Zod]

OK Have you tried reinstalling the game?

Did you install a dll from the internet? Never do that.

Look in the game folder for redist, install whats there manually

Hello,

I have installed the Direct from the game's redist file. I have not mentioned this before, but when I launch the game a pop-up appears with the Splinter Cell Conviction CD key. In a forum I have foun an article that this CD key should be also inserted in a UPlay account, so I have registered the CD in my Uplay account and I have the game available now also on Uplay.

I have also installed the Directx from the game's redist folder and the current behavior is:

When I try to launch the game from my steam account the following Pop-Up appears with an error that the Operating System is not supported and I have two choices, either to continue or press No. If I click the Yes button a redirect is made to the UPlay account and the game tries to launch from the Uplay account, seconds later another Pop-Up error is received: "Application Load error 5:0000065434"

Check the required operation system on store page. Make sure that you dont exceed the refund time frame.

If you install a dll from the internet it could be a virus.

It is a multiple platform, as it indicattes the icons of Windows, Mac computer and SteamPlay

Hello,

I have found a fix for this issue. The workaround is at it follows:

So, this is Splinter Cell Conviction, digital deluxe edition. i have purchased it on steam and downloaded it, installed the DirectX version from the game's redist file (the location of the file and game my depend on user's choice as you can install the game wherever you want.

When you click the Play button from the steam dashboard you are provided with a game key, this game key needs to be registered on Uplay. After pressing the Play button either from uplay or steam an error is received indicating that the application is not compatible with the operating system (I am using Windows 8,1 x64).

To fix this go to the location of the "conviction_game.exe" file, go to properties and then to Compatibility and select "run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows 7 (select windows 7)". Using these steps the game will work.

I am using windows 8.1 but this issue might occur on Windows 10 as well.

You need to activate this product on both Steam, if first it was puchased on steam, and then on Uplay - activate, with the code received while launching the game from the Steam dashboard, and granting it Compatibility mode for Windows 7, and also installing it's DirectX version even though you have a high end GPU card with the latest driver version. A bit tricky for a novice user. But I am glad that a solution was discovered.
