Your method works for me! Saw the damn book and all characters in game.

Thank you Yuna_Sama!!

I had this issue only on my notebook since first genesis update so I left it until now (need to use notebook to play it again). Your solution just made my day. Thanks a lot!

After weeks of trying I found a really easy and safe way of fixing this issues (with a little help)... This way is so easy the GM's should've done more about it already... Like I suspected after installing some other games, .dll files can indeed be extracted by the game when installed... You don't even need to tamper with your system... Seriously the staff should be ashamed of itself... b:surrender

Warning: Before using these methods... Do make sure you have DirectX 9.0c installed on your system... This solution is only for the ppl who already have DirectX 9.0c...

The fixes:
For the missing d3dx9_42 error: Download this zip, extract it & copy the .dll file to Perfect World Entertainment\Perfect World International\element... That should fix the 3d3x9_42.dll error...

For the invisible characters/mobs/NPC's: Download this compiler for the 3d3x9_42.dll zip (it ain't complete without it) and do the same with it as you did with the 3d3x9_42.dll... Just extract it and put it in the Perfect World Entertainment\Perfect World International\element folder as well... That should make everything visible again...

As you can see there is no need to alter anything of your current DirectX 9.0c or windows files... It's just as simple as putting the .dll's in the game folder and the game will recognize them... Hope this will help for those who still have issues... b:victory

Update: The fix for the invisibility issue apparently doesn't work for everyone... So I made a batch of all d3d related .dll's I have atm, for those who like to experiment, of which some are in the System32 folder and other in Element... Doesn't really matter in which you place them although the Element folder is probably less risky for your system... The .zip contains all the d3d .dll's used by my system on which the game now works well... Just extract them somewhere and pick whichever you're missing in your System32 folder and put them in your Element folder (or if you wanna try for the heck of it put all of them there)... Batch: d3d dll's... The .zip contains these files: http://i43.tinypic.com/15ro9jc.jpg...

PS: Feedback on this is appreciated... No matter if it works or doesn't... It's still kinda in experimental phase so... b:thanks

You are so awesome!!! Althoug I do not really know what I have done to my computer under your instructions, it works!!! ^o^

You have done nothing to your computer... You just added files to your game folder... So basicly you did something to the game... b:cute

I installed yesterday, but was having the invisibility problem. The second zip file only made the heads appear, so I ended up just downloading the whole package.

This rectified the problems that I had, thank you!

Glad it helped... Guess you need them all to get things to work as they should... XD

Hi, so I don't know if you can help me with my issue or not but I can't even download direct x 9.0c because when I try I get this message: An internal system error occured please refer to DX Error log and DirectX.log in your windows folder to determine the problem. Please help me. I really want to play this game. Thank-you

No idea... Your pc might be too old... I had an old AMD once who couldn't install any later versions then DirectX 8... Better ask someone who knows a bit more of this stuff...

I've had that error for the longest time... I tried that first step you did, but I had to use the ''verify'' button at the patch. Then, I managed to log on, but the characters were missing. So I downloaded that last step of extraction you posted, and then.... It worked!

Thanks for posting this, you've got a satisfied customer.

You're welcome... Just trying to help... b:cute

hey! i know i made my own thread but this one is getting so much attention i was hoping i might get more help. i tried what you said to for the other things, but my cursor remains invisible and it really sucks. other suggestions?

Have you tried the full package? If you have I really don't have an idea... I also don't have a spare pc to simulate this kind of problems yet so... Hard to find a solution for it... Sorry... b:surrender

Someone's gotta do it... XD

To all the others who had great success with this method (I'm surprised it was even needed since Geno said they fixed it more then a month ago) you're very welcome... I'm really glad I was able to help you all out... And to spread the joy of playing the game... Sorry for my late responses... I don't come often in here and I really thought everything was solved... b:thanks

Extract files...
Select all the files and copy...
Paste them in the folder...

If you still can't figure out it might be a good idea to just grab a big hammer and smash your pc into smithereens... b:chuckle
