My friend, you are an absolute star! Worked well. I thank you.

Have done this, even went through the hassle of uninstalling any and all DirectX components so I could inctall it anew, but to no avail.

Tried reinstalling the DirectX driver several time to no avail. Was also very careful with the .dll files. Running a Gigabyte Z270X-Ultra, i7-6700k, 16gb memory and GTX 1070ti.

Okay, so haven't played for a couple of years now. Recently found out the game was making a bit of a comeback and was delighted so obviously I immediately downloaded the client and installed. All happy and stuff, went to play the game and bam "Fatal Error Couldn't load vid_d3d9". Done the obligatory search of google/reddit etc and have followed numerous pieces of advice to no avail. Reinstalled the game half a dozen times. Tried running as admin. Replaced and sorted all the appropriate .dll files. Tried running in compatability mode with various OS'. Feel at a bit of a lose end now an
