Bulldogs 10 Posted July 2, 2009 Read the sticky. The downloaded file can be extracted anywhere you wish, then run it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
r0NiN48 10 Posted July 4, 2009 hi, very grateful, and excited about game demo. Downloaded demo a few times and it disappeared on completion, searched for it with no result! that must be taking up HD Space somewhere! Downloaded for 3rd time, and it appeared on desktop! tried desktop icon , no joy, 1ST time i ran it said it was corrupted try installing again with 7-zip, ,no joy after DL 7-zip and extraction. downloaded patch and ran it, just as a hunch, no joy. downloaded the direct x 9 patch etc, no joy tried desktop Arma 2 logo icon, error message: X3DAudio1_6.dll. ran as administartor etc , no joy.

r0NiN48 10 Posted July 5, 2009 I have uninstalled it and re-installed it, and still the same error message, can't i just find the .dll and manually put it in arma2 folder? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thirdup 0 Posted July 5, 2009 The dll in the thread title is a DirX9 dll. ArmA2 is a DirX9 game (not DirX10). People with DirX10 (Vista) may have to install this dll as part of your system (not just drop the dll into the ArmA folder). Follow the link on the ArmA2 demo page or see the sticky above. It's a Microsoft fix. Just run it and you should be gold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maruk 80 Posted July 5, 2009 It is quite simpe: you need to update your Direct X to March 2009 or newer. You can do it easily from Microsoft website http://www.microsoft.com/games/en-US/AboutGFW/Pages/DirectX10-a.aspx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
