I can't play ck2 from steam.
I reinstalled my windows today and after i installed steam and ck2 i can't play, the launcher can't find and dlc and if i run from ck2game it says i'm missing d3dx9_41.dll;

Yesterday i was playing a perfect Ck2 game .. now is broken.

This is a fresh steam and ck2 install.

Follow these instuctions as you reformated your computer and installed the operating system again you are most likely missing several things. Installing these should get your game working again.

Please try installing:

First: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555

After that: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=8328

Then: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35
(If that doesn't do anything then http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109 )

Then: visit the Windows Update site and allow it to apply all .NET updates/patches it wants to, for all .NET versions.


Then right-click on ck2.exe and ck2game.exe and set them to run as the Admin user, and to disable desktop composition.
And then check if you can run the game after that.
