technohobbit17 Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 I bought Call of Duty 2 on Steam, and it said I need DirectX 9.0c. So I downloaded it from here, but when I try to open it it says "Command line option syntax error. Type Command /? for Help."I have no idea what to do. I'm not a noob at computers, but I've never seen anything like this before. Any help would be much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That worked to install DirectX, but now when I try to run Call of Duty 2, I get the error "DirectX ® has encountered an unrecoverable error. Check the DirectX ® FAQ for possible solutions."I have tried all the things in the FAQ and it still isn't working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Can you find more information on the DirectX error, e.g. in the Event Viewer?Can you get any additional information from the DirectX Diagnostic Tool ?Also, do you have the latest device driver for your display adapter installed? (DriverMax can tell you.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
