Pannocy 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2017 (edited) I've installed DirectX 9 and 10 and the error still occurs. I'm attaching my system settings, if it's any help. I have no idea how to check if my version of DirectX isn't corrupt, but I thought that reinstalling it would fix the problem. Unfortunately it didn't.

I'm assuming no issues on your host os when starting POE? I found when I was messing with Hyper-v that if I tried to install or fix directx I always encountered issues. I ended up just re-installing the guest os and made sure I used the direct link from microsoft for the latest version when I install it first time. My setup is Win 10 host > VMWare 12.5 > Win 7 ThinPc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twatman 0 Report post Posted April 23, 2017 I had the exact same problem. Are you running the VmWare player? I started with vm's yesterday after finding this post. For those interested: 1 - I am running a VMware workstation 12 player (non-commercial use only), with a windows 8 x64 guest (downloaded iso tool from microsoft to create a install iso) 2 - downloaded PoE (inside the guest vm), installed it, had same issue. Eventually I solved it (did several things but I'm pretty sure this did the trick): 3 - Install the VmWare Tools, see picture. (this installs proper virtual machine - 'grafics drivers' or something which I guess is the issue here) Vmware-tools Installation was a bit confusing so pay attention as it gives some pop ups inside the vm window - or end up like me and restarting the installation several times and end up feeling stupid. I did try to (re-)install the Directx9, but that's not encouraged or something (only in special cases like old games...) But can be done by downloading the "sdk directx libraries" from microsoft - again I can't remember this solving it. my 2 cents, good luck Capture.bmp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
