CoD Steam - issue with installing Directx

[Fjordmonkey]

Have you tried downloading the latest DirectX redist directly from Microsoft and installed it before you launch CLoD? Not sure if it'll help, but worth a shot.

thnx m8!

I installed .Net 4 and windows update downloaded a security patch for it as well .. also did what you suggested and now at least I get to the point where I can load a quick/training mission ... but the mission starts without me I think. I can hear the engine running and it responds to my throttle inputs and eventually crashes, but all I see is the mission load splash screen! Well, it's a baby step anyways!

Thnx again mate! The odessy continues,

Cheers

Excellent One step closer

What you can try now is to go into the graphics-options and disable grass, then reload the mission and see if THAT works.
