Have you tried installing command again? It installs the third party components (like dx9 and .net) - these are also located in the 'prerequisites' directory in Commnand's game directory.

Yes, I just now tried that and it still happend. Funny thing is that it was working before, I just had to download the x86 file to fix the Lua problem when I first installed the game so I thought it might be that problem again. I downloaded the x86 file again but the game doesn't work. Not too sure what to try next.

Try installing the directx that came with the game. You can't just download any version of it.

Hi Willy

If you installed at default locations your direct file should be here:

C:\Matrix Games\Command Wargame of the Year Edition\PreRequisites\directx_mar2009_redist

Run the dxsetup.exe file.

Likewise your .nets are here

C:\Matrix Games\Command Wargame of the Year Edition\PreRequisites


It sounds like the dx is the issue. Please run it.

Did you run the .net that came with Command?

There are three things that should install when you reinstall...

C++ distributed libraries
DirectX9
.net framework

You need to install three, even if you think you have a version on your machine.

Also, pay attention. If you don't work through the prompts, the installs might just abort without telling you and Command will just crash on start.

Well when you didn't know what .net was, I was a little concerned. You also mentioned you downloaded directx from someplace...also a little concerned.

Have you hit the update button and received all updates?

Please do that and then post a screenshot again of any errors.

Thanks!

And this comes up when I run the game. Looks like it's not installing correctly.

Most of those messages tell me you don't have C++ libraries and Directx installed correctly.
