It gives me this error. "Silent Storm: game.exe - Entry Point Not Found" - "The procedure entry point Direct3DCreate9Ex could not be located in the dynamic link library d3d9.dll." Any idea what this is about?

Thank you.

Try to install this - http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109

Installed and did not help the case sadly.

Have you downloaded it, unpacked it in a separate folder and run dxsetup.exe from there?

Afterwards, download the latest DirectX web installer and run it as well:

Further, reboot your system.

Re-install the game and don't forget to restart your PC.

I am on Win 8.1 and I get the same error message exactly 3 times, before any graphics begins to show for the game. If I respond 'OK' to each of the 3 error popups, then the game starts normally. I did reinstall it one time, but the error messages are persistent.

Even so, I can play the game ok. I've only seen it crash once. But that was because the Java auto-updater insisted on interrupting.

So far have tried both installs, rebooted between, reinstalled the game and the problem still persists. But as Alcaray says I can spam the error message away and I can finally get like after twenty of those popping up on my face to the game.

@Dragnerok_X You, sir, are a freeking genius! That took about a minute to try and it worked perfectly. Thank you!

This worked for me.
