so how am i supposed to work around this, when i've got no admin privilages. and dx11 is higher then dx9 so it should work fine as is. but for some reason it doesn't.

or is my pwi career prettymuch over due to no admin privilages with a patch packed full of errors.

    The game errors because its that DX9 dll file is missing or corrupted, using that end user runtime installs the files needed for DX9c, it doesn't "downgrade" from DX11 to DX9, pretty much without the admin privileges on your computer, there is no other way to install the runtime.

    and i don't have admin privilages on this computer so i can't install it. i can download the file but i'm unable to run it. so unless they find a way to allow me to go around needing that file. or to awnser my ticket with being able to without needing it then my pwi days are completely over.

    and to think they finally had a new release that i actually liked, and i may not be able to even play it.

    I'm having the same problem! I can't download 9.0c at all, my computer is being **** and PWI:D is saying I'm missing something in the files. I've tried redownloading and reinstalling, NOTHING WORKED. I'm now on manual patch, and I doubt that'd make a dent.
    This is bull ****, why not just add DirectX to the download and make everyone's lives easier?
    I have been wanting to play Descent for over 20 hours, almost 10 of which I've spent downloading, installing and uninstalling this ****.
    I'd really appreciate some help. WE'D appreciate some help.

    heard a rumor their working on a new patcher/launcher but idk if that's true or not. i sen't in a ticket with my particulr problem and they said they should have an email to me about it within 24 hours. so pwi time that's a week. not like it matters though with only being able to do 3-4 vana's a day while aps squads still get their 50-100 runs or more if they so feel like it.

    and the aps nerf was supposed to be 20% innate chance to miss regardless of accuracy for 4.0-5.0 but it seems that's only been effecting pvp not pve. so ya the'll fix that to pve soon and basily force us to charge. so i wouldn't get to excited about it with their "balancing" stuff which *other then aps* is unblancing it further
