Thread: X3DAudio1_6.dll is missing from my computer, can't run?

  1. #1

    Exclamation X3DAudio1_6.dll is missing from my computer, can't run?

    I have a little issue with running the game. Here's the window that pops up:

    "The program can't start because X3DAudio1_6.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

    What should I do to fix this, download X3DAudio1_6.dll from somewhere? If so, do you know where I can get it from with a safe download?
    Or another solution?
    Thanks,

    ~Aresous

    Download and run DirectX Web Setup.
    Let it download and setup directx, maybe need reboot after. Try to run game again.
