Salem 2 Posted June 4, 2018 Good evening guys, Does anyone else have an issue where the launcher always starts by saying Installing DirectX, no matter how many times you've launched the games (and you've already installed DirectX)? Takes like 3-4 minutes for this to go through it's process every time I try to launch the game. Any ideas? Thanks, Salem 1
Bloo 43 Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) Control panel, search "device manager", the one that requires admin to enter, go to your GPU drivers, pick your GPU, disable it and then enable. Try again. EDIT: Usually fixes any Directx issues for me. Sorry if it didn't work for you. Edited June 4, 2018 by PancakePower

Займет 3-4 минут, как для этого, чтобы пройти через этот процесс каждый раз, когда я пытаюсь запустить игру. Есть идеи? Благодаря, Salem Можно узнать какой у вас Windows ?
SixxstagesofMajik 12 Posted June 4, 2018 go to C:Programfiles)86x)/steam/steamapps/gamersfirst/apbreloaded/tpi Open TPI.xml with notepad and remove this line;<InstallerInfo><Name>DirectX</Name><DllRelativePath>DirectX\DirectXInstaller.DLL</DllRelativePath><SetupFileRelativePath>DirectX\DirectX_June2010program</SetupFileRelativePath></InstallerInfo>Save the file and delete the DirectX/exe file It will not try to update/install it againcan do this for all iteams in tpi folder if want to 1

Best way to get around it is to make a shortcut to the APB executable, and only run the launcher when there is a patch. Honestly, I don't know why G1 thought it was a great idea to force that DX9 Redistributable to be installed every single time the game is launched, since DX9 hasn't seen a major change from 2010...

Alani 475 Posted June 4, 2018 tbh i just use advanced launcher because this bypasses the entire problem
Keshi 436 Posted June 4, 2018 u need the dxd9.dll or something, place it in your folder where apbprogram is located and u should be gucci... If that doesnt work dxwebinstaller should help as well
Tobii 347 Posted June 5, 2018 He already has it installed. He's asking why it's installing every time. Run the game using the exe file, and you have no problem. I see why that deserve a downvote tho :^)
Triksterism 137 Posted June 5, 2018 Use the advanced launcher OR use a shortcut like "C:\GAMES\Steam Library\SteamApps\common\APB Reloaded\Binaries\APBprogram" -lbl -pktlag=0 -noamdtsc -nomoviestartup -noverifygc

Thanks, Salem Hello brother, you can avoid the delay by running the apbprogram straight from the binaries folder. Just navigate there and create a shortcut and plop it on the taskbar. Cuts load time way down. Word filter won't let me say E X E Edited June 5, 2018 by Puffdragon

Edit: So I just looked up the standard value on my notebook where I don't have this problem with directx. It was already 04.18.2011 With the registry fix I changed the value on my PC to this one (04.18.2011) and it fixed the problem. I didn't look up the value before I changed it (I'm stupid..), but I guess it was a different one ... Just type in windows search "regedit", open it and go to this path [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\GamersFirst\APB] "directX ShipDate"="04.18.2011" Then you can look up your value.

DiBBz 38 Posted June 9, 2018 i tried the reg edit approch but it appears i dont have a reg directory for [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\GamersFirst\APB] so im kinda stuck atm. not only that but battleye is constantly reinstalling every time i re open the launcher
ElectroStingz 53 Posted June 9, 2018 (edited) The idea is to add the whole lot if you do not have any trace in your registry. Use this, extract and double click on it to add. DX Reg Fix Edited June 9, 2018 by ElectroStingz
